[quote=Anonymous]HGCs aren't a guarantee of future magnet success partly just because of numbers: there aren't nearly enough MS magnets to take all the HGC alumns each year.

As the parent of kids who have been through multiple magnets, I can assure you that they're not heaven on earth. Some classes and teachers are great; others, not so much. Sure, my kid loved doing Rubics cubes at TPMS, but not every day was like that.

ITA about how gifted kids are so curious that they challenge themselves. After school, if necessary. You, the parent, need to take them to the library and find stimulating summer camps and online opportunities (and not just in STEM, but all over the map), at least until they can negotiate this stuff for themselves. I have two of those 130+ kids, and they did things like teach themselves programming from college professors' YouTube classes. That's what bright kids do. This parental hand-wringing encourages passivity in smart kids, besides being sad and entitled.

And gawd, is Asian Racist still here? I've been off this forum for a while. I was hoping Asian Racist (she lives in Potomac) and the racist who is obsessed with the Blair principal's Twitter feed (she lives in Poolesville) had left. Wrong on both counts I guess.[/quote]
