[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC just came home from Cold Spring CES, and said only 2 kids out of 55 were accepted to one of the programs. The rest got rejection letters yesterday. I really am shocked. Since they recently studied the Constitution, the kids decided under the first amendment it was constitutional to protest via petition, which they have now done :-) [/quote]
I love this.
2/55 is such a low rate.
I have to say, probably a lot of parents whose children made it into the HGC/CES in elementary were probably feeling secure that their children's giftedness was recognized as such. It's a shock being told that you are now 'not gifted enough'. If the funnel from HGC/CES to Magnet MS is so narrow (e.g. huge # of HGC to very few going to Magnets), that doesn't seem right. Way off balance. My child is not at a HGC as we've moved from out of town, but I feel for the parents whose children are in HGC and now are told, 'this is the end of the road for the nurturing of your kid's giftedness'.[/quote]
