[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like it's a program for compliant bright kids who are willing to give up most of their time and interests due to an extremely heavy work load and not geared for truly highly gifted+ children who REALLY need a self-contained gifted class where their passions and high motivation for learning leads their education. [/quote] There are kids with IEPs in my DC's HGC class, who have had loud outbursts, so your statement is not true. But your jealousy comes through, loud and clear.[/quote] I try to stay away from DCUM forums because of all the nastiness that goes on on these boards bc of the anonymity. That is just rude about the jealousy statement. I do not think I am jealous (although it would certainly be easier to have an easygoing kid) but I am more frustrated and angry at the system that refuses to help certain populations of gifted kids who need it the most. In any case, I am just going on hearsay so I don't know what the HGC is actually like but it is good to hear from a different source that all behavior issues are not extinguished by dismissing students from the program quickly as I heard from another parent, so thank you for that tidbit of info.
