[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is at an HGC, no LD's for her and from what I've seen its a lot of smart kids w/o LD issues.  The home school had many more LD issues in the classroom.  I think there are plenty of people who down talk the HGC kids so they feel better about their child.  I'm not saying that a LD child couldn't be accommodated at HGC just like at the home school, but I'm saying that it isn't a program dedicated to LD's.[/quote]

My daughter struggles a bit with organization, but even with this she doesn't have any real problems doing well at an HGC.  It can be a lot of work however, and if you're having problems with the workload in 3rd, I'd be hesitant.  One of the things they emphasized at the orientation is that it's not just for smart kids; it's for smart kids that are willing to work hard.  Not saying that your child wouldn't work hard, but the bar is set pretty high for kids w/o any issues.  I would apply, and if accepted bring up your concerns and talk to someone.[/quote]
