[ - ] Was just reading a post about PS9 admits being upset about not getting into Anderson. Aside from the whole going to 8th grade and avoiding middle school - and having two classes - I honestly see no difference between the two. Both peers groups will be all 99s. I would imagine if the curriculum were not enough for the class, the PS9 teachers would have to accommodate. What else could possibly be "all that" aside from bragging rights? Same building, same peer group. 24 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Right but my point is - it's basically the same peer group. If PS9 feels the kids need a more accelerated curriculum, can't they accommodate that? Either groups of kids could have been place in the other school if the lottery had been different. [ Reply | More

At this age - I would argue that the neighborhood community is more valuable.

Now -it's nice to run into your friends on the street on the weekends etc. [ Reply | More

One could argue PS9 G&T has even better peer group (as long as sibs are very few) - at least last year it was when A had onsite for 97+ cutoff. Anyway, PS9 principal is kinda anti-G&T. [ Reply | More

Brady is not anti G&T. She is a terrific principal, and has been supportive of the G&T and gen ed programs, working to create a real community. Not all kids need an accelerated math curriculum, nor do all parents want it. I would like to see some supplementation, and though my very smart dc could handle acceleration, she would be fine without it. [ Reply | More

Parents supplement outside of school, either at home or with classes elsewhere. No supplementation is done at PS9 (unlike Anderson). Not all kids need it by a long shot, but a few really do need it, and a lot more could handle it. [ Reply | More

I think it depends, MS can be very sucky time for a lot of kids and the admission process is extremely competitive and getting worse. Getting into Delta will be much harder 4-5 years from now, assuming no major crisis happens that would make people leave the city again. And if you are at A, you can choose to apply to privates or Delta if you want change, but are not forced to if you are happy. [ Reply | More

dh used to consult for the irs right after graduate school-they go after the little guy more frequently (or used to). i forget the logic-something like word of mouth of how bad process is if you get caught as an incentive not to cheat. [ Reply | More

ohhh, I thought you were talking the nucal scan, I think that it is something like 95% on the anatomy scan (that's the one at 20w right?). You can look up the statistics, and of course, you will also see people who the scan turned out wrong. The lovely thing about the internet is that even if there is only a .02% chance, of the millions of people using it, you will find the people that make up that .02% because they tend to be the loudest.
