+2.  Please tell me the my kid should be academically challenged movement hasn't taken over the pre-school set?  And my oldest kid is at TJ, with his sister having as good a shot as anyone else at being accepted is she decides to apply in next year's cycle.  So I get the merits of academic challenge. I also get that kids learn an amazing amount if you turn off the TV, buy them legos and other building toys, take them to the library every week, cater to their 3 year old fascination all things dinosaur/ train/ space with books and movies, and field trips, and then give them unstructured time to play. Bonus points for lots of patient question answering.  Fastfoward 12 years, and they have to sit up until 1 am to finish their homework.  And they don't love that. But they still love going to school because they have intellectual passion and curiousity, and being pushed. Don't drill and kill that out of your kid when they are 3 [/quote]
