Under different circumstances we would probably be the parents first in line to help with these topics. I would venture to say that most of us are highly appreciative of the Talent Searches and the opportunities they give to our children. Most of us have read enough research to understand how important the local questions were that you asked our children. We get it. This is valuable research, and it could directly impact our children.
I agree with this completely and I am sure that it is hard for Dr. Assouline to post here since I know that we're picking posts apart. This a bright bunch of parents, though, and I think trust between parents and the talent searches has been seriously breached at this point, unfortunately.
I know that I've been outspoken here but I am trying to be reasonable. I'm not advertising this issue elsewhere. I
am worried about ramifications for my dds and I am not sure if we'll have dd10 participate in talent search in middle school as a result. Dd12 will be in high school next year, so it's a moot point for her.
