[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"A teacher can teach a home school class one year and the HGC class the next. The teacher can handle the assignments. "

...And you know this ... how?  Can you give examples of any teachers who have done this?  Because my wife works at one of the HGCs, and I can tell you anecdotally that to my knowledge, such a pattern not only doesn't exist; it would be very difficult to implement.  Teachers work for years to learn the curriculum specific to what they need to teach, to expand on it, to get to know the tricks for how best to teach it.  They can't just switch gears, voila! in the way you suggest.

Like the PP, the more posts of yours that I read, the more I see that you don't know what the heck you are talking about.  It is clear that you have zero experience with any of this.[/quote].
Ask your wife if all of the HGC teachers at her school taught in the center last year.  My child's HGC teacher did not. She taught another grade in the same school.  We are very happy with her as an educator. Apparently I have more confidence in your wife's abilities than you do.  [b]I have not encountered a single bad educator in MCPS[/b].  [b]I have not met a MCPS ES teacher who would be unable to teach in the HGC. [/b] Yes, they would need to make new lesson plans.  And teachers who change grades also need to write new lesson plans, as do good teachers who are trying to improve thier teaching methods.  Finally, for what it is worth, I happen to think we need more HGCs in MCPS and I think we have the talent in the system to staff the new centers.[/quote]

Seriously?  Because I've met a few.  Yes, most are great, but are few have been not so great.[/quote]

What a contrast in attitudes. There is one parent with a positive and caring attitude, who I am sure does a better job than the cynical and negative one, who I am sure has no idea how to get the best out of anyone. Keep it up![/quote]
