[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow - by reading through these posts, I can see how HGC really do attract the highly motivated.

I'd rather see a hard worker in an HGC - one who embraces challenges but who may not have the best scores - than those "gifted kids" who don't believe in putting forth an effort.

If my kids were lazy, I'd be on them.  Some of you just don't seem to care. So you make excuses using the test as the real problem.

wow - What a way to bring up a generation!  enabling through excuses[/quote]

Not being obsessed with grades =/= lazy. [/quote]

I think that PP is confused.  My HGC DC didn't care about PARCC, which is not a grade that DC sees.   DC does care about grades, however, and gets plenty of ESs.  It doesn't have anything to do with being lazy.  Kids are kids no matter if they are gifted or not.  I'm guessing that PP doesn't have a gifted child.  Many gifted children are not motivated in areas that they don't care about.  As a parent, I tell my DC to try DC's best no matter what, but I certainly don't flip out over an I in Social Studies, or a "barely met" on one section of the PARCC test.[/quote]
