[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't lose sleep over it. I have 3 kids and can't begin to count the # of parents who have told me over the years they thought their kids would enter HGC. The vast majority didn't get in. Of those that did, I know a few parents who decided to stay with the homeschool and their kids went on to the MS magnets without issue. I don't think those kids have fared any worse than those who did HGC. One of the HGC is in our home school and it doesn't appear the math curriculum varies much.  I heard writing instruction is a strong suit but one of our regular 5th grade teachers is [/quote]

Was trying to add that one of our regular 5th grade teachers is the strongest writing teacher I have encountered through 3 children and 4 schools. One of the HGC teachers is the worst teacher we have experienced in all our years (she moved from the regular program).  I guess my point is that you have no idea whether your child will even be a candidate but even if your child is, you can get an excellent education in the regular classroom. [/quote]
