[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got accepted into Cold spring. But most likely will turn it down. There is one other child that we know of that was accepted from school and they will probably decide not to attend also. I just think that DD would miss her friends too much. [/quote] joke or jerk[/quote] Not the PP you were responding to, but I have known parents who passed on HGC because their child did not want to be separated from their friends. I also know a disappointed parent who thought some of the work in the HGC was a little bit for "show" (to show the parents that kids could stretch themselves to work on something really abstruse, although it did nothing for their understanding of concepts) and that the teachers did not use the best pedagogical methods. Had my child been accepted, I would have placed him in the HGC without question. But insults are uncalled for, PP - other parents have a right to place more value on friendships and their child's social wellness. [/quote]
