[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have seen HGC kids really taking it hard when they don't get into the magnet MS. Very hard when most other kids get in and now you have to go back to regular middle kids without the friends you made over the last two years. [/quote] We're in this situation...6th grader, was in HGC but is now in the home middle school. It's tough...I think he would be much happier and, obviously, more challenged at a magnet middle school, but that just didn't work out. Our home middle school is in no way as inspirational as the HGC was, when he came home wanting to read books because his classmates were reading them, was challenged by homework and assignments, was excited to learn and had terrific teachers. Haven't seen him excited by any of this year's assignments. Then again, I also haven't seen him stressed out w/schoolwork...[/quote]
