[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really striking how few people on this thread are interested in having objective criteria by which to measure their children's progress. It's like everyone just wants to believe their children are amazing and gifted and "the elite," and they want to avoid anything that could conceivably demonstrate that's nothing more than a delusion. Give my kids every standardized test you can think of. They will destroy it. [/quote]

Congratulations.

It really striking how parents of academically gifted kids need to shout from the rooftops how smart their kids are.[/i]
My kids may not "destroy" every test, but they are still amazing kids and will be smart, funny, kind, loyal, fun, engaged, and interesting adults, friends, wife, husband, co-worker, etc.  
 
By the way, not all smart kids turn into successes, or are nice or happy people, or even productive citizens. Not saying yours won't, but you don't have to be an academic rockstar to do any of these things. You might want to check your arrogance a bit. [/quote]
