[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My experience at the HGC is funny enough the parents seem more relaxed.  At our home school everyone seemed so obsessed with making sure their kid was at the "top", even if their kid didn't necessarily belong there.   [/quote]

Relaxed parents, parents with civic sense, parents that share opportunities with other parents, parents that are proactive about forming clubs and carpools,[b] parents who are non-competitive with each other[/b] - those parents are better parents, IMHO - and I found such parents at my son's HGC.

They are not under involved or over involved  - they are correctly involved and they are community involved.[/quote]

Until it's time to apply to middle school magnets, and then watch out!

That is the nature of the application process. Every thing hinges on that one entrance exam. I am not saying that the parents become your friends and family. But, by and large, it is more cooperative and civilized than other places.  Once you are in the program, they are supportive.  I am sure this anxiety manifests again when the kids apply to HS.
