[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I hardly think taking an average of 5 kids out of a given school negatively affects anything.[/quote] When the HGC kids left, that did negatively affect the remaining kids at my kid's school.[/quote] How were the remaining kids negatively impacted? I am sure the HGC kids were not teaching the class![/quote] For my first kid, just enough kids left for the HGC that the school lost a teacher position for the grade, so class size for the remaining kids went way up. For my second kid, in third grade, there was a good-sized advanced group, made up of kids who ended up at the HGC plus kids who didn't get into the HGC. In fourth grade, the advanced group was much smaller. Basically the non-HGC advanced kids were left stranded. Is this typical or common? I have no idea. It was real for the kids at my kids' school, though.[/quote]
