[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]   In all but very rare instances, I think this is a silly exercise for parents who want to think their kid is more special than he/she is.  The majority of kids would be fine if left at their own local schools.

In our house, dad put the file together.  I loved reading what he wrote about our son.  We get so focused on day to day stuff that we forget sometimes to sit back and just appreciate who our kids are becoming.  I think everyone should force themselves to think about their kids and write down little vingettes about them every once in a while.   It is nice to take time to think about your kid and put down your thoughts on paper.  My son is certainly no shoo-in for the program and even if he gets in I am not sure we'll send him to a Center.   My son was in pool (but barely) and I just wanted to let the process play out.  My husband said he wanted to provide his input via the questionnaire.  I am really glad he did - we both learned more about our kid through the exercise.[/quote]
