[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The enrichment class at my DC’s school is full of many kids who seem downright mediocre and boring. I am thinking the parents have bribed or threatened or something. My DC was recommended for enrichment by his teacher, but failed to get in. This is a kid who could read textbooks at 3 years old and could solve two digit math problems at 4. He could look at a list or map and memorize the entire thing easily at age 3. He could draw an exact map of the US without looking at anything, again at age 3.  I never questioned why he failed to get into enrichment, maybe I should become that person? I want to know what [b]special qualities[/b] these kids in enrichment possess.[/quote]

Karen is the kid's mother.  [/quote]

our kid was recommended for an enrichment program by a teacher who also suggested that we follow up with the principal if we wanted her in- if you don't advocate for your kid and other parents do, your kid loses out. Welcome to modern public education.  [/quote]
I am realizing this now. Sadly, I didn’t advocate for my child and here we are. DC isn’t learning anything and he seems to be stagnating. I feel that enrichment would maybe engage him more. I didn’t want to be that obnoxious mom who thinks her kids are superior though, so I just forgot about it. I can look for extra stimulation for DC on my own.[/quote]

Many Asian students have the same problem because their parents cannot adequately advocate for them and yet white parents accuse all Asian students of doing too well. LoL. [/quote]
