[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our older dc was not admitted to the hgc several years ago, and we thought seriously about private for him but let it roll at our home school. It was a mistake - he loved staying there from a social perspective, but he was not at all challenged and I think he started middle school at a disadvantage because he had been coasting the past two years versus all the kids who returned from the hgc. Our younger is currently at an hgc and her experience is wildly different than his non-hgc one - she loves school, has engaging projects and debates/discussions, her reading has blossomed because she is actually given great material and challenged to analyze it.

Ps to those who said above that the kids not admitted are not hgc "material," my spouse and I believe that our older dc has the greater intellectual curiousity of our two kids (and he also had higher wisc scores than his sibling), despite not having been admitted to the hgc. He is a slower worker and has anxiety so I suspect that is why he didn't score as well on the test, but I have no doubt that his teacher rec's were just as positive if not more so than younger dc's and he would have thrived there just as much as she does.

PP, that must have been hard to have a worthy kid overlooked, especially when his sibling got in. How is he doing now?[/quote]
