[quote=Anonymous]7:58/7:51 here (and I'm *not* the horrible experience at Nysmith poster). I think that part of the issue with Nysmith is that the self-selection is not just along gifted/affluent (and don't forget geographical) axes but also people whose understanding of education leads them to look for acceleration or an advanced curriculum or individuation. This isn't a pitch that appeals to me (especially when I imagine the parent cohort it produces in this area) -- I looked for a progressive approach to education, lifelong learners as teachers (and high retention rates for those teachers), emphasis on diversity, and some measure of the the academic strength of the cohort that wasn't just self-reporting (which put K-8 schools generally at a disadvantage in my search.)
