[quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering how much grading changes at the HGC. For example, since only the brightest of children get into these centers, I'm assuming that none of them have ever received a grade lower than an "O" or an "A" before on their report cards and that presumably they would never have received anything lower than that again on their report cards if they had stayed behind at the home elementary school. So my question is, do the HGCs grade on a curve? Do all the kids continue to receive straight As? Or do some children who would never have otherwise received Bs and Cs at their home school now receive them because of the grading/more challenging work at the HGC? And what does that do to their self-esteem? Not to mention their transcript when applying to the Middle School magnet programs. I would love to hear about your experiences or impressions.[/quote]
