[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not?  S/he can not be the only one from your cluster that is not going to a magnet...[/quote]

Their HGC is not in our cluster.  There are 4 kids total from her school in her cluster.  The other 25 go to 2 other middle schools.  [/quote]

So your child could go to middle or high school with any of those 4 right?  [/quote]

Obviously the 4 could if they don't go to magnet but isn't it is a lot nicer going into a middle school with friends?  The HGC kids are already ostrasized when they move to another school.  New commute, new principal, new classmates, completely different kids outside of HGC classroom.  So you are only with that one group and you get close.  Add the fact that those kids you grow close with all leave for another middle school than you just sucks.   MCPS has implemented such a poor way of teaching gifted kids and parents don't care.  They will force their kid in a different class, cluster, 2hrs more a day of commute, switch friends yearly, etc.. just to say their child is in HGC.  [/quote]
