[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless it is a school for the highly gifted like Feynman it doesn’t help at all and your child would be better off in highly gifted programs through public school. I speak from experience. 
[b]A child with a very high IQ will NOT find a like peer group at DC privates. [/b]There will be a few others like them perhaps, but the rest are nice enough average to above average kids with money or an admissions hook who work hard. Teachers at these DC privates know nothing about how to teach very high IQ students. It’s actually painful at times. [/quote]

Clearly you don’t have a high IQ. If you did, you wouldn’t have dreamed this up.[/quote]

PP is right. High IQ kids won’t find a peer group at most dc privates (or most schools in general) b/c most people are average IQ. You only get the false impression that everyone is above average on this forum lol. The math ain’t mathing lol.[/quote]

The math ain't mathing? What? Of course most people have an average IQ. But folks with a high IQ can enjoy playing with/working with/getting to know all kinds of people--they don't need everyone (or even anyone) to be to the right of the bell in order to find and enjoy a friend group. [/quote]
