[quote=Anonymous]Who dictates where their kid will go to college when they are in elementary school? Most parents I know are quite realistic about how their kid is doing and where their strengths and weaknesses are. My 5 year old (currently) has exceptional academic ability for his age. He is years ahead of his classmates and has tested above 99th percentile. Most of my friends don't know this but they do know him and it's pretty obvious. His physical abilities are pretty bad and I can't imagine anyone ever trying to suggest that he is the best player on the team (if he in fact played on one). My youngest child is delayed in many areas. I'm well aware of this, just as I am aware that his brother is, right now, showing signs of being highly gifted (academically). Older kid may not keep it up, younger kid may catch up or even exceed his brothers abilities. [/quote]
