> What's the value of the 8-10 points?

When they ask, I tell expectant and new parents that, no guarantee, but, 10
points could  be the deciding factor in a child getting into GT class - that
is "gifted and talented" class in elementary school, and "honors" classes in
high school, which around these parts is important to many parents, they
understand this concept and it gets their attention.

There is a high school near here that is very tough to get into and has the
highest numbers of merit scholars in the nation (based mostly on SAT scores I
think), ..........one day I am going to do a survey and see what the % of
those students were BF.
