[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many, many kids can do well at a HGC. [b]They are not (contrary to what many on DCUM say) meant only for the ones "whose needs cannot be served in the home school." [/b] In fact some in that group will struggle at a HGC whereas some just "above average" kids will excel. It is bullsh** that if you prep your kid for the test and they get in, they don't deserve to be there. My kids all went and they had some home prep - we know people who did classes and varying amounts of home prep, but very few who did absolutely nothing. On the whole, most of the kids did very well.

People on DCUM did not invent this statement of purpose.  MCPS did.  It says *right on the application* that the HGC is intended for students whose needs cannot be served in the home school.  The parent part of the application involves, among other things, writing a statement explaining why the student's needs cannot be served in the home school.

Whether or not you agree with the statement, it is an MCPS standard, not a DCUM one.[/quote]
