[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My older daughter is very smart, but didn't get into CES either.  However, we plan to do our own version of CES at home.  There are plenty of home schooling resources available that meet or even exceed what CES teaches.  As much as it may be bragging rights, CES doesn't really matter in the long run.  Kids can still take AP classes in high school, skip grades if they can test out of the material, etc...  Also, there are plenty of coding and robotics camps during the summer, lots and lots of educational toys at a reasonable cost (e.g., robotics kits, game programming tutorials).

The only real difference that I see between CES and non-CES students is that enrichment comes from parents for the latter kids.[/quote]

If your kid got in, would you still have made the statement that CES doesn’t matter in the long run?  The problem with most of you whose kids didn’t get into the the CES is you’re licking each others’ wounds and devaluating the prestige of being in the CES.  Do yourselves a huge favor, and teach your kids to give credit where credit is due!  The kids who made it to the CES deserve to be praised and uplifted instead of being doubted!  To make up stories like some parents pulled strings to get their kids in is just plain stupid!!![/quote]
