+1 No kid would feel that stressed unless the parents were conveying it. My DC was oblivious.

My dd (Barnsley area) has no clue that the letters are coming this week. We haven't talked about this since they took the test.

OMG.
lol, I love that you're asking the mailman. Breathe deeply. It's going to be ok.
LOL. I wouldn't have thought of it, but my husband like to chat up the mailman, the neighbors, the bus driver, the teachers....
My DS is stomping around the house in a pissy mood because of his anxiety while waiting. It's like having a teenager waiting to get college acceptances. I see myself 20+ years ago waiting for my acceptance to MIT and giving my parents hell.
Dear God. He is in third grade. THIRD GRADE.
Get over yourself.

If it was 20+ years ago and not 30+ years ago you must have had your kid really young!

Yup. Letters to those who did not get in, and emails to those that did get in.

Send him outside to play - the weather is beautiful and this is 4th grade, not MIT

Well, according to the other thread (http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/45/626178.page), they just announced on Friday that they are adding in a new HGC center (class?) at Piney Branch. I wonder if they have been finalizing expansion plans for next year, with the new pilot programs. I'm just speculating, though.
I must have missed that post. If that ends up being the reason for delay that would actually be great news...more room in the programs!
