[quote=Anonymous]The critics seem to believe that one can actually tell who is the best and brightest at PK, K or whatever grade you cite. Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. Do you honestly believe that a child who scores well, in one year, on WIPSI, WISC or SSAT will always score at the same level on all future tests. Simply absurd. Moreover, do you honestly think that these tests are the sole criteria for who will succeed in school, college or even life. Nonsense!! Moreover, no private school is obligated to admit only what it considers the best and brightest, assuming it could even figure that out. Finally, is the only relevant criteria pure academic intelligence rather than values, etc. I thought one of the benefits of private schools was its ability (compared to public schools) to teach values and, if so, this is relevant in admissions.
