[quote=Anonymous]"The kids in middle school are confused at who got in and who didn't. Some of the brightest were turned down and the not so bright accepted. I have heard the bar is set at different levels for different middle schools." With all due respect, sometimes kids don't really know who is smart and who isn't. They may not realize that the quiet, low key child in the class is extremely bright. By the same token, the child who brags about how smart he is, may not be quite as bright as he thinks he is. Also, kids don't always know what the other kids are doing outside of school and how committed and accomplished they are in their outside activities. Or, how well their essays are written. It might be hurtful to some children if kids are saying that the "not so bright" kids were accepted. Also, my understanding is that they look at the applicant pool as a whole and not separated out by middle school. The standards are the same for all the applicants.[/quote]
