Thanks a lot for reply. I really appreciate your help and information. I have more questions.

About Don Mills C.I., if my son cannot get into the gifted program, how about regular program in Don Mills C.I.?

I was told that Earl Haig S.S. has good reputation in arts and music. How about other subjects in Earl Haig S.S., like, math and science? Are these subjects also good at Earl Haig?

With regard to gifted program, is there any way to prepare for gifted test?

My son does not really have special talent in any specific area. He gets good mark in math, science, social study (sometimes, depending on the topic of that school year) and music (because he is taking piano lesson, but he hates piano). He doesnot like English. I asked him what he would like to do when he grows up, he said "business". But he is still a kid, he can change his mind momentarily.

Another problem with my son is that he does not have any initiative and inspiration. He does not have desire to excel and does not believe hard work. He told me he only lives one life, so he will enjoy it. He even does not want to go to gifted program since he thinks he will do more homework in gifted program. Is this common problem among boys here, or just him? How can I persuade and inspire him?

Thanks in advance. Sorry for so many questions at once, but do hope you will address all of them. Sometimes I really feel frustrated about my son's education.:roll:

I would like to find a good high school for my son in Toronto and York Region area, and cannot find a high schools ranking for Ontario. Can anybody please help me and list some good high schools in these areas?

Thanks a lot.

By the way, I am sorry that I haven't installed Chinese in my laptop, and can only post question in English.
