Again, sorry for any unintended offense. My post was a rant because I think that for the astronomical fee that these schools charge, they should be able to provide "the works" (there are families in America whose annual income pretax is less than the school fees here and there are some universities which are cheaper than these elementary schools!).
The funny thing is, I have already decided that I will choose one of the schools named in this thread (non-Harker and non-Pinewood) for the upcoming year and spend what little free time I have driving my child to extracurricular activities, if needed.
PS: I have already adjusted my expectations, but I might be able to become an adviser to someone with a business plan to start a "gifted school" in the bay area about what the actual market demands are (just kidding!).
