[quote=Anonymous]12:22 - At a GDS open house, a school administrator told me that they have some DYSs enrolled in the lower school as well. Why do you find this offensive? Schools that enroll really bright students are likely to have a few students whose families avail themselves of Davidson's offerings. The programs are free and merit-based. As a prospective GDS applicant, I was impressed that the GDS official was familiar with DYS as an enrichment opportunity. Our DC is not a DYS but we are considering applying to the program. How is Feynman (or GDS) in this regard any different from schools that congratulate National Merit Scholarship finalists, or make known their Ivy acceptances to independent school guides? So long as the information presented is factual, I appreciate learning more about the peer group a school offers. If you worked for one of these schools, would you really keep this kind of information a secret? Just sayin'. [/quote]
