[quote=Anonymous]Thank you all for the feedback. I am the OP. I think the answer that resonated with me the most is that if you treat kids as “smart,” they also see themselves as smarter and it becomes a self fulfilling prophesy. I think this is true. Since my son got in, he already feels more confident in himself. Its like when someone tells you that you are attractive, you suddenly believe it more and it shows in your confidence. Also, being pushed to think to your potential is a good thing instead of sailing through (which is what he was doing.) BTW, we live in a high income area, so even gen ed has been great. I do understand that there is way more distinction in lower SES areas. [/quote]
