Have you asked to see the teacher questionnaire about your child?  It is after all an educational record of your child and you do have a right to see it under the FERPA Act.  I saw a copy several years ago and [b]it basically would exclude a child exhibiting ADHD symptoms from the HGC program[/b].[/quote]

My child has a 504 plan for ADHD/anxiety.  He is in an HGC and is doing great.  He loves the challenge and unlike last year (3rd grade) has not complained once about being bored in school.  We're still working on getting him to do all his homework on time, to bring things home, and to return things to school... but he's learning.  He's proud of the fact that his desk is not nearly as messy as it was last year. They even have taught cursive this year and his handwriting is actually more legible than his printing, which is helpful.

We were told that a lot of HGC kids have "issues" and that teachers are used to dealing with quirks.
