[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kid is in the math/sci program and went through zero wringers.  If you put your kids through a wringer, that's on you.[/quote]

I am surprised by your confidence. "Zero wringers?"  I wonder what your child would say, if you asked them how they felt during the process, or if they would actually tell you.  Did your child somehow not have to participate, didn't have to test, didn't have to write an essay, didn't have to ask teachers for recommendations, didn't care how things turned out?  The stress is there without the parent placing it there.   I hope your parenting prowess is as great as you believe it to be, but I doubt it.  Congrats that things worked out so well for your child, but if they hadn't worked out, would she we be all goo with it?    "Zero wringers"....Really???[/quote]

+many. Yeah that response made me roll my eyes. Somehow reminds me of parents posting “my kid got a 26 on ACT!! NO PREP!” [/quote]

Yeah, so my kid enjoyed CES, did no external prep... nailed the cogat and was accepted to both programs.  I do talk to my child and there were no expectations set... in fact, we talked about how there were only few seats available and that no matter what, middle school was going to be awesome, regardless. The only prep we did was to make sure kid had a good night sleep and a big breakfast.  Is that putting a kid through a wringer?  I don't think so.   Keep rolling your eyes though.  [b]It will be your kid in therapy, not mine.[/b][/quote]

Dying to know why PP’s kid will be in therapy, oh wise one.  Enlighten us![/quote]
