[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's odd.  I'm very happy with my 5th-grader's peer group in the Center.  I know most of her friends, and they all seem bright, and, perhaps more importantly, they're extremely creative, outside-the-box thinkers.  Some of the stuff they come up with is really interesting and clever, and a lot of it isn't classwork, it's just stuff they are allowed to do in their "free time" in class but they get really involved and intensely focused on things.  Last year my DD and 3 of her friends made and illustrated a whole set of little books for fun - they naturally divided up the project based on their talents - 2 were the illustrators and 2 did the writing & dialogue, and they spent a LOT of time typing up the text, editing & revising it, adapting the drawings when the text changed, etc.  They used a publishing software they had at school to lay it out in book format.  All because they thought it was fun to do together.  I've seen lots of examples of this kind of thing in our Center.[/quote]

pp at 6:59 didn't say she was unhappy with her 5th-grader's peer group; rather commented on what her kid had said.  I recall from grade school myself we all knew who the smartest kids were. You listen to them answer questions in class, partner with them on projects, examples of their writing is posted n the walls etc.[/quote]
