Yes I'm sure you pay no attention to your child's ERB scores. And there's nothing that gets the private school board more worked up than talk of how many Ivys or NMSFs a particularly school did, or didn't have.

all that talk about the NMSFs on DCUM is actually the students themselves. Haven't you figured that out yet?  It's really obvious.  Those threads about private high school sports, NMSFs and Ivy acceptances are ALL teens.  Especially the sports threads.    All the vigorous GDS bashers are also students.

But this "my 9 year old kid is so advanced because he scored a 3.8473 on the state test and only 0,0003 % of students nationwide can read on his Lexile (the 372nd lexile!) and he is bored and needs challenge"  ? That's all you, weird obsessive parents who are totally missing the forest as you plot your trees on the graph[/quote]

Ok, how about who is the best test prep for the SSAT? Or WISC for the preschool set.

sure, those are parents.  But, that's 100% about just getting admitted in the first place.   Once I have that WPPSI score on my 4 year old, and he's admitted, I don't then continue to talk about his score and plot it on a national and state chart for the next 6 years.

Also?  a lot of DC independents don't even administer the ERB.  Ours doesn't.   [/quote]
