[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I beleive my DS's need cannot be met at his  homeschool. Unfortunately he is not accepted in the HGC. I think his teacher's recomendation was not glowing. I intend to appeal. However do not know what it takes. Can somone who has successfully done this, please enlighten me. TIA.[/quote]

If your DS was identified for GT services in Grade 2, you should be able to get your homeschool to provide the same curriculum as the HGC. The only difference are the projects and the amount of HW assigned. If he is a motivated learner, you could make up the difference easily. I would not sweat it too much and you can personally spend more time focusing on his needs, which is always better than a school teacher with 25-30 kids in any school - HGC or not.[/quote]

This is wishful thinking and really completely untrue.

There are many many differences and homework is really the least of them.  There's also no way that regular ES teachers would be remotely prepared to oversee the projects that they do.  Then there's the writing, the vocabulary building, the problem solving in class with a true peer group, etc. etc.[/quote]
