[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is a 3rd grader in MCPS. We didn't apply for the HGC program, or even consider it at all, mostly because we assumed our child wouldn't qualify. She is advanced in reading and has other very intense interests and skills, but is average (and struggling) in math. But we received a letter from the school last week stating that she has been selected for rescreening for gifted programs, or something to that effect.

My husband laughed and said it's probably just a form that everyone receives, simply because we live in Bethesda and everyone here is convinced their children are gifted. I'm guessing he's probably right that this was just a pro forma thing, and I was a little too embarassed to ask the school, although I completed the form and submitted it. But I'm still curious, so I'm asking here, and I'm prepared to be flamed as a clueless parent with false delusions of grandeur.

Don't worry, I'm not getting all DCUMish and insisting that my child is the greatest genius since Einstein (she's nothing of the sort! but she is pretty nifty in her own way.)[/quote]
