[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is stupid is to tell your child he is smart.  Would you tell a borderline child he is dumb?  Of course not.  We'd say to ANY child that he/she is smart to provide encouragement.  Therefore when you say your kid got in because he thinks different, learns faster, is smarter, etc. it sets this boundary up of the haves and the have nots.  So no, I'm not telling my child she is "in" because she is smart.  I'm not using words 'smart,' 'learns faster,' 'needs more challenging work,' etc.  I'm using words like, "the school is trying to consolidate things for third grade to streamline classes.  Pulling kids in and out won't work as well so I think they are just doing some classes with no pull outs.  Period.  That's it.  If she comes home and says this is for the 'smart kids' per your kid, I'm going to tell my kid your kid is mistaken because obviously we know kids not in her class who are smart.

And how did you explain the small group pull outs to your child? [/quote]

Why would I need to explain it?  What about it requires an explanation? [/quote]
