Last night we went to an open house at Whitford, the middle school that contains Summa, the middle school for all the geeky smart kids. It was impressive, and Andrew has decided to go there next year. He still has to fill out the application (due Friday, of course), but there are openings, so he should be accepted.
We didn't tell Matias or his parents beforehand, as I didn't want to give them any false hopes, but they were at the open house. Matias had, of course, been chosen to be a tour guide for Summa. They were happy to see us, and excited that Andrew might go to Summa - they've been trying to talk us into it for 2+ years now. But Andrew's been happy in his mainstream middle school. Possibly it was the horrible behavior witnessed at Highland's science fair that prompted his change of heart.
Mali was bored through much of the open house (actually, we ALL were bored silly during the Whitford portion of the talk, before they got to the tour and then the Summa discussions.) She livened up later, and thinks maybe it wouldn't be so bad going to Summa. Of course, she hasn't had any of the standardized tests yet, so so far only her parents (and close relatives) know she's brilliant.
