[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds ridiculous. Why would an 'average seeming' child excel more at a center than an 'obviously gifted' child. Please remember that we are talking about people's children here.[/quote] Because sometimes "obviously gifted" just means they do well in their base school. That could be a nicely above average child (i.e. 92-95th percentile) who fits well with a traditional approach. A 98-99 percentile child may not learn as well in traditional curriculum so may appear to be a "dim bulb" as some of the nasties here like to say, but when put into a different curriculum model can really excel. I'm not saying "I heard" this either [b]because I saw it with my own child[/b].[/quote] and did you have to appeal to get your child in? WISC and all that? Because you know better than the teachers, AART etc? [/quote]
