[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]its going well. My DS is liking school and is excited about what the class is learning thus far. There are two categories of kids that I have observed thus far. One group of kids are the perfectionists and there is some anxiety and stress involved in new challenges that they want to continue performing at a high level. The other category are the less motivated but equally bright children who actually could benefit from a little motivation influenced by some stress and anxiety. In general I think these kids could all benefit from each other and it seems like a good group thus far and the teachers seem top notch.[/quote]

Mine was definitely in the second category, and really benefited from being pushed to work to her potential, instead of half-assing her work so she could read through the rest of class.

The big projects with all the incremental deadlines were great for allowing kids to screw up a couple of times and still recover on the final grade—once they'd learned the lessons the hard way. Lots of growth in 4th and 5th, and I'm definitely seeing the results in her middle school magnet work. Can't say enough good things about her experiences at the CES (well, HGC when she started).[/quote]
