[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, I have a theory that the people most annoyed by the appeals are the people whose kids were on the cusp and who need to feel validated that their kids are smarter than the average bear.

I think those of us who have kids who really need this type of program are happy that our kids are finally in a place where they can move at a level that is closer to their abilities.  We don't care who else is in there because our kids are in the right place for them.

My kid almost hit the ceiling on his test.  When I picked my kid up from his test he told me he missed 3 questions (and his scores confirmed this).  One of the questions he figured out in the car on the way home.  He can be really great and normal, or really really quirky, depending on his peers.  Most of the crazy smart kids I know are like that too.  I prefer having a slightly broader peer group to help normalize his school experience.  Who cares how the other kids got there.  If they worked their asses off prepping, good for them. They will probably pass my crazy smart kid in grades because they know how to work.  My kid does not need to work to learn, which is a bad thing.  Luckily, some of that borderline kid work ethic is starting to rub off on him.

Just worry about your own kids and don't stress about how others got there.[/quote]

anyone else notice that the people who preach on these posts can't seem to do it without telling us what a genius their kid is?[/quote]
