[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Goodness, conversations like that irritate me so much,[b] because somewhere along the line it means there's a parent who has communicated incorrect information and generated false hopes[/b]. Some of these self-declared center-goers are in for a big disappointment - not all of them will make it. HGCs are highly selective but easy to apply for. A simple application from the parents, plus a checklist ("letter of recommendation") from the teacher, and a test in January. HGCs are for children who are so much head and shoulders above the rest that they really need a different environment. Sometimes these children are atypical in other ways too - they may have a tinge of Asperger's or ADHD (my child is one). Your typical bright child will be equally well-served, if not better, at his or her home school. Squash any thought that children who are not accepted must be of lower intelligence. It's not true.
