OP,

You are being incredibly offensive.

Children who have high scores on the HGC test and pass muster with the selection committee can be chosen to be part of a HGC, regardless of their special needs or personality. Remember that most twice exceptional children are not diagnosed as such because their profiles are so complex. They don't wear a tag and they're not flagged in the system as unworthy to breathe the same classroom air as your precious snowflake.

Just because your child is in an HGC, it doesn't mean that they are entitled to a perfect environment with well-behaved peers. It's amusing that you should think that. HGC will always have a couple of children with peculiarities, just like in regular classrooms. If you believe the student to be too disruptive, talk to the teacher.

OP here. Get over yourself, PP.  I wasn't implying that my kid was special or deserved to be in a class with only perfectly behaved kids. Give me a break. My kid is not perfectly behaved either.  I was just curious about whether GT/LD kids are mixed with HGC kids because I always thought GT/LD kids had IEPs and were in their own class.

And this kid's anger issues weren't just disruptive. It was, at one point, kind of scary the way my DC described it (threw something). I'm guessing the teacher gives some leeway to this kid because he may very well be GT/LD because when this occurred the teacher let it go.  If a non LD kid did this, I'm pretty sure the teacher would've done something about it.  This is why I asked the question.  I'm not opposed to GT/LD kids being in the same class as my DC. I was just trying to understand if LD kids were mixed in with them.

And disagree with the other poster about it being none of my business.  How is knowing whom my kid is around none of my business?  I'm not interested in the kid's personal life, but a parent has a right to know the people my kid is around for 5 hours a day in a small confined space.  [/quote]

You have a long road ahead of you if you plan to investigate the kids who are in class with your child for the next however many years.  :roll: [/quote]
