[quote=Anonymous]OP here I'm just worried about the logistics and the social aspects if the value isn't phenomenal. DD is social but we switched preschools when she was young and moved the summer before first grade. This is the first time she has had continuing friends and she is really thriving just bored academically and less interested in this aspect of school. She has some behavioral issues (ADHD, impulse control) and being around her non-ADHD friends really balances out her behavior well. DH and I both work and have a long commute. If she went to HGC, we would need to pull her off her soccer team. It just doesn't seem practical to be able to keep up with neighborhood friends for 2 years in a meaningful way. I'm also concerned about how the HGC centers deal with the LD part of GT/LD kids. We've had mixed results from teachers at her home school. [/quote]
