[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]But I don't see why the things I have to say about the years behind us already isn't valid. I have never - not even once - said that I don't think that any issues will ever arise or that I am 1000% wedded to sending DD to this school forever no matter what happens.[/quote]

No one is saying that the things you have to say about the years behind you are not valid.  I don't know why you are extrapolating them to speak about years of school ahead that your child has not completed, which indeed, based on your prior post, you are.  Wait and see how it goes.  We send my son to a diverse, well-regarded school.  It was great through about 3rd grade, when it became clear that the gifted and talented program was pretty weak in his area of strength.  It was a good school for him until then, at that point it became clear that it was not for him. [/quote]

I was doing so partially out of pique, because there is a tendency on this board to move goalposts when it comes to this issue. People dismiss PK experiences by saying "wait until 1st" and then "wait until 3rd, because that's when differences really manifest" and then "but middle school is when things really become an issue" and it just goes on an on.

For the record: I can only speak credibly about the experiences we have had so far. I can say that at this time, we are not looking for another school, and we don't plan to do so unless a) something happens that makes current school not a good fit anymore or b) we are planning a move to another area of the city/country and need to look at school options there.

And DC doesn't have a gifted and talented program, so I assume you're not talking about DC schools at all.[/quote]
