[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand how being in an environment with “not so smart” kids, as defined by some parents here, would affect the way your own child can perform in the CES program. Can someone explain? [/quote] I think the argument is that they don't want to deal with uprooting their kid from their neighborhood and friends for 2 years to be at school with a cohort that is similar or worse than their home school if they are from a top-performing school. In DD's school almost everyone made the lottery and there were many 99th p scoring kids who did not make it. What are the chances of a 99th p kid making it to a CES in the lottery? They are weighing that against the sure thing they have at their home school.[/quote]
