"Gifted" is how NYC keeps educated, MC families in its public schools. Otherwise they would flee to the burbs or private schools. We all know that "gifted" (in the 4 yo context) generally means a student who has had some type of school preparation, comes from a family that values education, and will behave in class. Naturally, these families want their kids in classes with similar kids. [ Reply | More

Depends. Do you think there's more to it than her feeble excuse, and perhaps she just doesn't want to tell you the real reason? If so, no reason to make her feel worse about it.
