No. If it's a school you are happy with -- there are soooo many reasons this could be the better choice for your child. [ Reply | More

Probably depends on your child. Is he happy to have after-school enrichment and to move at his own pace while others lag behind in class? How is he socially? We kept our 98 in gen ed, but it was clear to us he was just a great test-taker, not gifted in a way that needed a special curriculum. [ Reply | More

Doubt it. Which general ed. My line of thinking is - try it if you want. See if there are problems. There may very well not be. IF there are problems, deal with them as they arise. [ Reply | More

I love that you're asking this question. Too much emphasis on scores and not on the kid. [ Reply | More
