[quote=Anonymous]Due to the selection process - the peer interaction in the class is at a higher level than any homeschool because they all are very bright kids.

While 2.0 is affecting the pace at which acceleration happens for Math, the HGC teachers have a lot of flexibility in how they teach the curriculum.  They are not going to reinvent how they were teaching and the projects they were assigning because of 2.0.  There is a lot of rigorous work going behind closed doors, even if acceleration is not as rapid as previous years.

Some teachers also do not believe in giving a lot of homework. This is not a bad thing. It allows them to gauge for themselves how much the student is able to apply what he has learned by himself.

Is your child finding it hard to find friends in HGC or has he/she complained about not being challenged?  Perhaps getting in touch with other parents would help to make you fee more confident about what is being taught?

Sometimes some kids are able to breeze through school work because they are not worriers...and if you were expecting your kid to be stressed and burdened and if he is not...you may be thinking that the work is too easy?
