[quote=Anonymous][quote]This except we're related. Their kids got tutored to get into GT. I don't say anything but feel sorry for their kids. When parents are like this it's more about them not their kids. [/quote] Funny, the kids I know in the GT program are happy as peach. Why do you feel sorry for them? You are really wasting your emotions. The kids that did not get in were very disappointed. All of them would have preferred to get in and I know many who try again for middle school magnets and when they get in these kids are euphoric. On the contrary, I am happy for them. Have you ever vicariously experienced the sadness in a child that fails to meet a goal? (e.g., GT program acceptance, making junior olympic swim cut times) Those children getting in the GT programs would feel sorry for you given your disposition to their accomplishments. No, some of these kids get it. They would probably laugh at you! :D[/quote]
