[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our child was accepted into the Barnsely HGC and we are undecided whether it is worth switching schools for just two years.  Our child is currently attending one of the county wide Spanish immersion programs and has been happy there.  Fortunately for us, being taught in Spanish has helped add some challenge to the curriculum for our child and we believe there is a lot of value in learning another language.  [b]Has anyone moved their child out of a language immersion program to attend a HGC?  Were you happy with your choice? [/b] Thanks.[/quote]

Yes, we moved our son from immersion to HGC and it was exactly the right decision, no question.  He was so much better there, so much happier and engaged.  Not a single regret.

His friend chose to stay in immersion and friend's parents regretted it because fifth grade in particular was a waste of their child's time.  They told me later that it was a terrible decision.  Friend was later not admitted to the MS magnet (which he should have gotten into handily, given his capabilities).[/quote]
