[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We didn't fill anything out for either kid, either. It didn't really even dawn on me to do that.[/quote]

That's because your'e not crazed like so many others in this area.  Genius-type kids may have challenges in Gen Ed, but most smart kids will do fine no matter where they are placed.   I have a GT kid who got meh grades in HS and a not-even-close-to GT kid who has so far earned straight A's in honors and IB.   Where a kid is placed in grade school means very little except for parents who like to brag at the playground.  [/quote]

[b]Then why'd you put your meh kid in the program?[/quote][/b]

I didn't put my kid anywhere.  He got into the program automatically based on test scores and GBRS, I presume.  I never asked and didn't fill out a parent referral so I really don't know.

And I don't have a meh kid, but a kid more interested in learning and exploring his interests than in grades (hence the not so impressive GPA). Fortunately, he did enough on his own (invention-wise) to get into a great college.   I don't think his placement in elementary school affected him much either way, but he wanted to go to the center so we let him.  And not being in a center clearly hasn't hurt my other child.
