[quote=Anonymous]Oh goodness, someone else jumped in and started responding to your question as if they were me. I'm the parent who posted about a non-MCPS child. Let me answer the questions you posed. 
&lt;&lt;
Without exposure to MCPS, how did you know HCG would be right for your child? Prior to the BOE test, did you have any data that indicated HCG would be a good fit?&gt;&gt;

I've been on the lookout for programs for gifted kids since kindergarten choice time because my child tested in the gifted range. We did a WPPSI because we were considering private options at the time.

&lt;&lt;Did you have any issues getting teacher recs? I'm worried about this part since the school would like to keep the students they have.&gt;&gt;

No, I explained our need for keeping convenience of commute a factor to the teacher and principal, and although they were sad, they were cooperative. (It would be really mean-spirited to do otherwise!)

Had your child ever been exposed to a standardized test?
&lt;&lt;Nope, nothing at school. Only the WPPSI and WISC, which are standardized. And those tests had nothing like the bubble sheets and intense time pressure. This was my child's first encounter with bubble sheets.&gt;&gt;

&lt;&lt;Thanks for your thoughts and for sharing your experience.&gt;&gt;

You're welcome! And all the best to your child. I don't doubt that you have thought carefully about your child's needs and perhaps an HGC is the right avenue to explore for you. I don't know why that other person questioned your child's abilities. You never know until you try. [/quote]
