There are a perplexingly large number of people, including parents, people at Gatehouse, and some of the school board who are anti-center and unaware that center schools are extremely popular and a big draw for the county.  So strange. [/quote]

Nope. I have two, non-prepped, Level IV students and I purposely kept them at the base school program because I wanted them to be challenged but also have a solid EQ (for example, not acting superior to their classmates). I know plenty of parents who made the same choice. [/quote]

EQ comes from the home, not from the school.  It's not like centers are full of snobs and have-nots and local schools are egalitarian utopias.  Kids who are snobs get it from their parents.[/quote]

Whether or not the parents are snobs, kids pick up on the caste system created by AAP.  We tried not telling our oldest child, other kids told him. He came home one day and said “you know I’m in the smart class right?” [/quote]The kids think they are more elite and act accordingly.  They lack patience, humility, and compassion.  They act like they are superior to others.  [/quote]

That’s not been our experience at all. [/quote]
