[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would love to hear from other parents who aren’t that hung up on their kids acceptance/rejection. Our 4th grade son didn’t get in last year but didn’t really care. He’s doing very well in his classes and is happy at his school.  I am totally fine with my kids in gen pop. Anyone else out there not think their kids is destined to a life of asking “would you like fried with that?”, or am I failing my kid and am just oblivious to it?[/quote]

Mine did get in last year and is in 4th CES.  My second son this year got on the waitlist and I can say I don't mind a bit.  The program is really just more reading and writing challenges.  My oldest loves to read but writing is another story.  The only real plus as been a peer group that he can relate to better.  He really did have an issue at his old school being an outsider.  My second son on the other hand fits in fine and does very well academically.   I actually feel my kid's home school is stronger then the CES school in general.   For example the compacted math DS got into at CES school full of kids from the school so it was way "dumbed down". The teacher told me I had to move him another class cause he did not belong there.  So if your kid is huge reader and way into writing then the program is great.  If they are a math and science kid who has a good home school not really a big deal.   I think the more competitive middle school and high school programs matter more.

I can also tell you the boys in my son's class that don't like reading are doing very poorly and having a hard time.[/quote]
