[Born in a Rage]

The teacher asked my daughter to see if she could do it and she did, and scored 100 on it. That group of 5th graders never pulled such a goof off stunt in computer class again after having been embarrassed by the kindergartener.

LOL :-) She must have got a kick out of that...good for her!

I was rejected by the one I wanted to attend because they had filled their "quota" from the section of Brooklyn I resided.

That sucks. I grew up on LI and always thought that those specialized schools sounded great.

She did - but what surprised me was she never told us about it - it was well after the fact when I ran into the teacher.

Same here. It was well after the fact we found out that my aunt and uncle could have pulled a few strings to egt me in ther - but by the time they told my mother that I was already happy with the HS I had chosen. Mom was furious though :)
