[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never helped my kids with homework, I feel to go to a magnet you need to be a motivated self starter. Besides either you can do the work it you can't. Truly gifted kids thrive on the challenge to try to do well. I know of no tutored kid in Magnet middle or HS, if your kid needs that than they are in the wrong program. [/quote] You sound like an arrogant, blind fool. First of all, many (emphasize MANY) students in the MS and HS magnets are tutored, whether with a formal tutor or not. They are not only tutored in academic subjects, but also to prepare for school activities (math counts, science bowl...). The motivated self starter who can do all the work and thrive on the challenge is very rare. I've gone to top schools (not the cream, but the cream of the cream) my whole life and have met very few students that meet your definition of "truly gifted." Congratulations if your DC is one of them, but by your standards, most aren't. [/quote]
