[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I found particularly telling in this article, and that I'm surprised nobody has mentioned, is the WIS admissions director saying that she sees the WPPSI being useful only insofar as it flags kids who perform well [i]below [/i]the norm. I am even more surprised that we haven't seen the usual WPPSI prep course advocates coming out in full throat against this article. After all, without constantly stoking the fear among understandably insecure parents that sub-genius scores will forever hinder a child's acceptance into and advancement through the area's top private schools, the bottom falls out of their business. Of course, I see a [i]huge [/i]opportunity for entrepreneurs who want to start up a "play date" prep program for 2-3 year-olds. For only $500/hr, your child can learn how to play nicely with others in the 98th percentile.[/quote] They've already got that. It's called Blue Igloo.[/quote]
