[quote=Anonymous]NP -  My kid was very insistent and emotional about not going to an HGC where DC was accepted.  Our local school was decent and he was allowed to advance in math at least, so we stuck with it.  A few other kids are now heading off to HGC and I wonder if it was the right decision, but ultimately I think his varied sports, music, and social interests make him a better fit at the local school.  As we gear up for middle school, I know we will have the same discussion (if he get's into a MS magnet program) and I am guessing we will stick with the local school again.  I will always wonder about this, but it is great to hear about gifted kids thriving at local schools.  As I think about Blair, I wonder if it is a good fit for a gifted kid who has a lot of different interests and would rather attack multiple subjects (music, sports and academics) rather than go deep into academics and maybe one other activity.  It's a personal decision, but this is why I want MCPS to address the needs of gifted kids at local schools.[/quote]
