[quote=Anonymous]In my experience, the home school teachers don't have much understanding of what is offered at the HGC or what the selection is based on. I say that having had two kids accepted to the HGC. One of my children's teachers said that the school is sometimes surprised by who gets in and who doesn't. It is not always who the school recommends. I think that is why a lot of teachers tell parents that if they have any interest they should apply. I also remember that a 3rd grade teacher told all the parents at back to school night that the HGCs didn't offer anything different than the home schools. That is simply not true, especially for certain kids who really need a different peer group.[/quote]
