[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The atmosphere might drive you crazy. Just throw work sheets at them -- no real analysis. Public may have better math program. Thrown at them. But each school is different. Sort of.[/quote]

This is ridiculous and completely inaccurate.  [/quote]

HGC and MS magnet PP here and I agree, could not be farther from the truth.[/quote]

I am not sure what the poster is basing this on.  When my child was in the regular public schools there was a lot of busy work and worksheets.  Now (at the HGC) dc gets thoughtful assignments, the curriculum is deep, they have interesting extensions.  they move through topics and assignments quickly which means they are constantly working on new things.  DC's research, writing and critical thinking skills have really improved dramatically.  You are in a regular public school, you take your specials with the neighborhood kids, but your academic experience (in terms of the curriculum and peer group) is different and honestly probably better than most private schools with the possible exception of places like Sidwell, NCS.  The peer group at an HGC however will be very different even from a top tier private   [/quote]
