[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids in the gifted center at Haycock are socially weird. Not at all true with the kids at Louise Archer.  But I guess a profoundly gifted kid would fit in better at Haycock.[/quote]

Apparently you don't have a child at Haycock. My daughter is in her second year in the GT program at Haycock and we have not encountered any more socially weird kids than we did at her base school.

I can't speak for the boys, but the girls are just like any other girls. They have sleepovers, and giggle about boys, and play sports, and instruments, and anything else you'd expect an upper-elementary girl to do. You wouldn't know that they were GT unless you saw their test scores and classwork or asked them about what their passions are. It is entirely possible to be highly gifted and have a well-rounded social life.

If someone has told you about a classroom full of asperger-like tendencies and recesses where kids only want to read and discuss principles of physics...it's simply not the case. [/quote]
