[quote=Anonymous]The OP wanted to know why people [b]obsess[/b] over getting their kids into the gifted program. Here's the Merriam-Webster definition of [i]obsess[/i]: [quote]transitive verb : to haunt or excessively preoccupy the mind of <was obsessed with the idea>[/quote] Usually, there is an element of an unhealthy focus when the word [i]obsess[/i] is used. Some people do have an unhealthy focus on getting their kids into the AAP program whether it is a good place for the child or not. Ensuring that your child gets the appropriate education for his needs is not the same as obsessing over a particular program. [/quote]
