[quote=Anonymous]At our HGC the kids mix at recess.  Specials they have with their homeroom class only, and at lunch they sit with their homeroom classes.  They've done some field trips together, but the kids didn't really mix.  My DD has made a friend she says she sometimes plays with at recess in the regular classes.  It probably helped that DD had a friend from an outside activitiy in her homeroom whose homeschool was the center school, who probably helped with introductions.  Or maybe not, that's an assumption on my part.

I'm happy if they mix, and I'm fine if they don't.  DD has made many friends at the center, where at our homeschool she didn't really have friends.  One reason I sent her is because I was hoping she'd socialize more if she went to the center and build up some social self-confidence before she goes to middle school.    Unfortunately, after her 5th grade year she may not see many of the center kids - who knows if we'll get into the magnet, or if her friends will.  The Center takes in a number of different clusters, and kids will be scattered to the winds.   But I felt we needed to make the right decision for now, not what might happen later.[/quote]
