[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They started that way with a strict IQ cutoff. There were not enough kids in this area believe it or not. They always struggled with enrollment, which was always puzzling to me. It’s very sad, our kid had great early years there.[/quote] Plenty of kids have IQ's in the top first or second percentile rank in the area. Look at AAP. It just seems slightly pretentious to enroll your kid in a school for the "gifted". It reminds me of the far side cartoon "Midvale School for the Gifted" with the gifted kid pushing on the door. [/quote] So it’s not pretentious to enroll your kid in the public gifted program (literally; AAP used to be called GT - gifted and talented), but it’s pretentious to enroll your kid in a private gifted program? Or do you just think it’s pretentious to pay for school at all when public schools exist? [/quote]
