[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please remember teacher recommendations are important. If a teacher thinks your child's needs are being met, and will continue to be met, in the home school they won't recommend a move. It isn't always about being the smartest.Home schools can handle smart. HGC is about thinking differently too. It is not for everyone. Congrats to those families that got in and sorry to those that are disappointed. [/quote] It used to be mostly about the test which is as it should be IMO. Now the test is short and easy. My kids third grade teacher does not know the first thing about him! She assumes things because he has an attention issue. Seems MCPS has ruined this wonderful HGC program. [/quote] Teacher recommendations have always played a significant role. Our DC, now a college student, was rejected despite test scores above the mean. On appeal we learned that his teacher gave him low ratings.[/quote]
