[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally different perspective but just FYI we are at an elementary school as our home school that also houses CES. My child constantly tells me that at recess the kids are all "I'm in the gifted program-I'm smarter than you". Which is especially hilarious since it was basically 100% lottery last year so yeah. My kid was in the lottery too. But now I'm
So glad we didn't get it. [b]Clearly the environment is toxic and unkind. [/b][u]My younger child has an even better chance of getting In next year and we will turn it down for sure[/u]. [/quote]

Never heard of this at DC's CES. I wonder if those particular kids are acting this way because it was a lottery, that those kids are insecure and feel like they somehow "made it" because they got a spot. Pre-lottery the environment was actually really supportive IMO but it could be because this is a CES housed in a school that is already very high performing so the kids were probably pretty interchangeable in terms of performance between the CES and non CES.[/quote]
