[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes... hence the change in the entrance criteria. [/quote] I feel like mcps is trying to dumb down the HGC with the name change and the very shortened test this year. When my DC took it a couple of years ago, the test was so much longer. This year it was 30min. It does seem like mcps took the metis report to heart and are now putting more importance on the "soft skills" rather than the test scores. I think this is a disservice to the really smart kids and the program itself. [b]If this is how the center is going to be going forward, then I wouldn't bother sending my kid on a 45min bus ride each way[/b] since more than likely, there will now be other very bright kids who don't go to the center and stay at the home school.[/quote] OK, then don't. I'm not saying that to be snippy, either. It's just the reality: if you don't like the program, then don't send your kid to it. (If you have another, younger kid to potentially send.)[/quote]
