[quote=SAM2]I've been reading about these ES & MS programs recently, and I noticed that one of the primary paths to entrance seems to be tests like the WISC. Many people on these boards regularly complain that those tests are not accurate indicators of IQ/giftedness. If that's so, then it seems inevitable that some children who successfully test into HGC/magnet programs will find themselves unable to keep up with the highly accelerated pace. (Indeed, if you believe the most vocal critics of these tests, then [i]most[/i] children in HGC/magnet programs won't really fit the profile!) How do these programs handle children that are struggling to keep up? Are they counseled out? Are they permitted to remain, but just given a non-accelerated workload? And do children that test into a magnet/HGC program have to re-qualify each year? Or are they given the benefit of the doubt in later years once they test in? Thanks in advance to those with first-hand info.[/quote]
