[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is the assumption that a STEM career is the only/most desirable path? [/quote] I am answered to the STEM question is because it's those STEM magnets that do tend to offer more satisfaction for gifted kids who want to dig deep and hard in that direction. A Big 3 private will not allow for that level of depth. But the tradeoff is in breadth. It all depends on what you want and what best suits the child. I do not think that the IB magnets or Humanities magnets will be any better than a Big X - I personally think the writing skills learned at the private and in a small classroom setting is better. But not everyone can afford that and kids who are at high performing magnets (and also neighborhood school) will still get a great education and be challenged. The main benefit in this case for the magnet is having more like-minded and smart go-getters. The downside to all of these is often a toxic culture.[/quote]
