[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]anyone can get tested for the centers, all you had to do was apply.  You don't even have had to be selected as gifted in 2nd grade to apply to the HGC Centers.[/quote]

Yes. Second graders who did well in Global Screening are recommended to apply.  Those who don't get recommended get assigned to above the grade classes in reading and math.  [/quote]

No.  Even if you didn't do well in the global screening, you could apply to the HGC and take the test that was offered in January.  You may or may not be reccomended by your home school to apply (they don't have to reccomend anyone, it's up to the student's families to take the step of completing the application, then the homeschool has steps to complete, then the test... the the decision.[/quote]

Sure, when one says, "anyone can get tested for the centers, all you had to do was apply," it means ANYONE can--even if you didn't get recommended.  Those who don't get recommended "get assigned to above the grade classes in reading and math."  Again, yes, they can apply for the HGCs w/o being recommended.  They still need the teacher recommendations and stuff.  How many fail to be recommended and then succeed in getting in by taking the test?  [/quote]
