Hi NDW,
Thank you for your response- it is great to hear from someone further through the process.
It was interesting to hear your daughters experience of the OC class and how much she enjoyed it. It sounds unfortunate that she had to leave- these things happen though.
Do you think that the way they taught was very different in the OC class?
My husband and i are also trying to work out what the experiences of students in selective schools are like. It sounds as though you were also concerned about this.
I think at this point we will get him to do the test. He is happy to do it as long as he has our promise that we won't force/encourage him to take it if he doesn't want to. This if fine by us. Even if he doesn't take it having the score may give us some information about how he would compare to other students for selective school entry.
As you suggest i will contact our closest OC and try and have a chat with the teacher.
Thanks Again,
HH
