[quote=Anonymous]Of course you do. You never know what she'll say and you would not have found out if you didn't ask. For all you know she may bring up social issues like maybe your DC has trouble making friends and that might be a challenge if he or she goes to a different school or other things that are not related to pure ability. There are definitely some kids who are truly exceptional and have difficulty being happy in a normal classroom and that need the HGCs. But there are many more kids who would do great at either their home school or the HGC and if you have a choice of going or not going I would want to know what my child's most recent teacher thinks. She may also have some information about children from your school and how they do there. At ours one student left for an HGC and was miserable and returned after a quarter. I don't think it had anything to do with academics but he just didn't like the commute and missing all his activities with his friends.[/quote]
