[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This doesn’t address the “why Speyer over a higher ranked school” question though - either it *is* possible to detect smart kids in kindergarten, in which case most of them are going be found and snatched up by bigger schools with more prestige and more resources than Speyer, or it’s not possible, in which case this is all a crapshoot and there’s no reason to think Speyer kids are especially smart. A more realistic assessment is that out of the large pool of kids who get rejected by the TT/2T schools and are deciding between their various 3T options, the parents who are high on “giftedness” lean towards Speyer, and they tend to also be the ones who push their kids hardest in test prep and enrichment and such.[/quote] People already answered the question. You are not familiar with the topic, so people have to spell it out to you in the most granular details as possible. [/quote] The one relevant reply talked about Hunter and no other school, so no.[/quote]
