[quote=Anonymous]Cuz it's anonymous....I'll say it...my son is brilliant, I mean, I cannot keep up with him brilliant, perfect scores on standardized test, IQ &gt;150 brilliant.. He is at a center school now and happy. Academics are his life. He's tried various sports but has a lot of balance issues and just does not feel passionate about it. He stands on 3rd base and does math in his head for fun and misses balls flying straight at him. He has a heart of gold. He helps other and stands up to bullies on behalf of his friends. He also spills his dinner on his shirt every night. He is....who he is, and my god I love him. With that said, he's 11. We are going to send him to Thoreau.  Chief reasons: 800 kids vs. 1400 kids at LJ; we like the teachers at Thoreau.; we like the &quot;less rattled/less busy&quot; feel at Thoreau; we like the quieter area of town it's in, we like that he will meet a cohort he's going to go to Madison with. I do not believe the &quot;academic rigor&quot; of LJ can trump all of these real-life factors. And academic rigor is coming for these kids...it's all coming in due time....he only gets to be a kid once........anyway, for better or worse, that's where we are coming from....we are excited for Thoreau, and so is he.[/quote]
