[quote=Anonymous]My son is now in middle school, but at the time I told him this was a chance to go to another school that had a lot more neat projects and opportunities. I told him that there is a chance he wont be accepted and that if he is accepted we would include him in the decision. I said I want him to take the test to have a chance at these opportunities, but it doesn't mean we will do these opportunities. I also emphasized that not every kid does this and he is blessed to be in this situation. In the end, he got into an HGC, but after looking into it, he really did not want to leave his friends, so we did not go. Being up front at the start, however, started a long discussion about the pros and cons. He really considered it carefully. Just going through this process was a good experience. I think we made the right call for him in the end.[/quote]
