[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child struggles with writing--only the part related to getting ideas from his head (and actually forming the ideas in the first place) to his paper--and he was accepted to a HGC. He is very talented many other areas. There was not a writing component on the test so that didn't make a difference. It is heartening to hear that there is another child who is more of mathy kid who is doing well at the HGC and that he learned to write better there. I am concerned about my son's writing ability at the HGC and if they will put too much pressure on him since writing stresses him out.  It's going to be interested to see the types of students who attend because there are so many types of gifted. There are going to be those who can practically write a novel and those who can solve a complex algebraic equation. And there's my kid who qualified to compete in a national geography olympiad and is composing classical music and has perfect pitch. It could be interesting. :-) I hope the curriculum is diversified and can meet the needs of all.  [/quote]

There's a lot of writing in HGC.  My DC just complained about this very thing today.  Too much writing. DC abhors writing.   Funny thing, though, is DC got an ES on the last report card in one of the writing categories.[/quote]
