[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, the thing is, I was that kid.  Reading by myself, doing SRAs (anyone else remember those?) and basically just following my own lead.  I did fine!  I'm a business owner making lots of money and employing plenty of people.  I'm sure it is frustrating to hear about schools where the resources are directed towards nuturing and enriching the advanced kids, but I bet your kid will do fine too!  I send my kids to public schools where there is a real nice mix of focus on all levels of academic achievement, but I bet as long as you provide solid enrichment and provide a great example at home, your kid will do just as well as mine, possibly exceed (I'm not as proficient at providing at home enrighment as I should be, I think).

Fully agreed.  I'm from a rural area with a very high percentage of dropouts, etc. and have never lived with the kinds of differentiation and pro-education residential self-segregation many of you have seen and probably grown up with.  Everything turned out fine. Now, if I had never learned to read by myself it could have been terrible, but things went fine.  Top law school, good job.[/quote]
