[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way you can accept kids to a school at age 3, 4, 5, 6 and ensure they are ALL gifted at age 13. They admit high SES kids and teach small classes at a high level. So the kids are smart. Gifted is disingenuous. I went there. [/quote] Well we know you weren't the top of the class.[/quote] There's a school in Seattle for "gifted kids" that will admit a child for PK3 and PK4, then make them take an IQ test for Kindergarten and reject them if it's not high enough. Our daughter (older elementary age) was above their stated IQ threshold but who the heck knows what our 3 year old's WISC score will be at 5 (not that it's stable at that age anyway). . . .It was a huge turnoff to think our son could be kicked out of the school at Kindergarten entry, even if our older child was there. We didn't end up applying and gave me a very bad impression of the school.[/quote]
