[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Johns Hopkins says he is gifted..." I love how Duke, Johns Hopkins, and Stanford trade on their brand names to bilk gullible parents out of millions of dollars in fees for these amazing classes that are only suitable for the truly "gifted," whose needs are so different than "typical" kids. I hope that ego stroke was worth the $7,000 you spent last summer. Duke accepted me in the TIP back in the late 80's. I was a pretty smart kid. But would I say I was "gifted" in some exceptional way? Nope. So you're in the top 1% in the nation on a standardized test. Big deal. All that means is that you're one of the 43,000 smartest American kids to be born in the same year you were. Take away the age cohort. So you're in the top 1% of Americans in intelligence. Wow ... you're one of the 3 million smartest people in the country. You want a cookie or something? Get over yourself.[/quote] Why so bitter?[/quote]
