I think they like stereotypical bookworms and our dc is very outgoing and questions a lot. I think what they called immaturity is really more of a personality issue as he is actually in school now and has zero maturity issues ever mentioned - in fact is seen as a very studious kid. We are concerned b/c he needs the differentiation they offer (the gifted school) - but are worried that they will try to squash his personality. He is already 3 yrs above grade level, and other privates seem to be a bit put off trying to meet him where he is at - and instead want to deal with him as a typical 5 yo and ignore the fact that he is so far ahead - but those schools are better suited for his personality type...loving the strong, outgoing leader type. So we are VERY confused.
