So, just because a child does not qualify, doesn't mean he or she isn't one of the 'smart' ones. School districts need to do a better job of making that info available for parents. (I used to live in a district where some parents had their kids tutored before testing. It was ridiculous)
Yeah, I actually hadn't planned on putting my younger son in the program because of the things said to me this year, as I feared it would interfer with his social life, however, his teacher said he should at least test and be given the opportunity for next year. We'll see how it goes.
