[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Using the non-cognitive skills for admission to HGC is such a bad idea. [b]One reason behind HGC is highly gifted kids are often asynchronous in their development[/b]. They are highly capable of doing academic work but not socially mature enough to skip whole grades. Therefore, the typical school environment is difficult for them to navigate. I don't understand why the socially mature but cognitively in range kids need a different school environment. [/quote] I have never heard anybody give that as a reason for the existence of the HGCs.[/quote] The 2 kids I know of go exactly for this reason.[/quote]
