<p>@Periwinkle, thanks for posting those quotes, they make me want to go look at the Andover site again.

<p>@flowers, I’d love to find that story, it looks like a good one. I’m not sure if our society is being further divided by cognitive ability, but I do think it is being further divided by socioeconomic status–which influences opportunities available, access to enrichment, and IQ results, especially in young young children. </p>
<p>@Alexmom, I see what you’re saying, and completely agree with wanting to find a setting where our children will feel comfortable, and find like minded children. As a general rule, I still disagree about the specifics of giving a young child a label for themselves. When we were searching for schools (again, referencing when my kids were younger), I talked to my kiddos about finding a “just right school for you.” I do understand IQ and cognitive abilities are about more than speed. For all that is known and has recently been learned about the brain, there’s still far more that isn’t understood. :)</p>
