[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm not sure I fully subscribe to this American notion that you should get into this program (or not) based solely on your "natural" gifts. [/quote]

No one is suggesting you should have to agree with this American notion, but since Fairfax County is in the United States of America, would you agree that it is not all that odd that the standards by which the schools are run should be based on American ideas? Not saying that American ideas are better than any other culture's ideas, but isn't it reasonable that any country's schools be run based on that country's ideas? 
If I were living in England or France, it would not surprise me at all that their schools were being run according to English or French ideas, and while I might not agree with everything, if I were sending my children to their schools, I wouldn't expect them to do things differently because I disagreed. It seems to be that it is standard procedure (and generally [b]good manners[/b]) to abide by the customs of the place where you are.[/quote]
