[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child attends a HGC.  It is great for her...but we live in Rockville (West MS) and for her to attend a middle school equivalent, she would be on a bus for over an hour each way.  We did not apply.  She will be back at her home school.  Hopefully she will find the challenge she is used to but I don't think taking 2 hours of her day to commute will be enriching enough to consider it.[/quote]

The commute is a dealbreaker for us too.  The commute would mean there would be no time for outside classes, sports, music, etc. after school.  The bus to our local school - a ten minute trip - is where all the bullying and bad behavior happens.  I imagine that dynamic would be far worse when the kids are on the bus for an hour!  A good friend sends her 5th grader to the program and is very happy, so to each her own.  But, the same friend would talk about how "bored" her DD was at our home school and how there was too much down time -- now the child has over 2 hours of boring, mind-numbing bus riding each day.  Can't understand that.[/quote]
