[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am glad to hear a lot of different opinions and experiences with the HGCs. I guess when I spoke with that one mother who had her kids at PC HGC she gave only one opinion. Glad to hear other positive experiences like being able to communicate with the teacher, having a diverse student body in terms of disabilities and abilities, the need to not have perfect behavior or be dismissed, and having a workload that is not overwhelming for many children.  Interesting how people have such different thoughts on the same program. I guess I'll need to take a wait and see approach and see what *my* family thinks. Thanks for all the feedback!

It is hard to read tone on these forums and maybe people are not trying to be as mean-spirited as it comes across. Maybe it's more about having strong feelings or being upset at something other than the posters themselves.  Hope so anyway. We're all parents in this parenting thing together![/quote]

I have a current 4th grader at the Pine Crest center. Both 4th grader teachers are nice, fair and funny. They've worked together for a long time, and they are both very funny. My child has the so called "nice" teacher. I believe she said she prefers to be contacted by email regarding issues. She has always been very quick to email me back the same day. Homework is very manageable, math most nights, but homework free weekends.

Most project work is actually done at school for my child's class. However the week leading up to project due dates can get intense but the teachers are very big on teaching time and project management. This is probably the most valuable thing my child is getting from the program.

My social, out going, sporty kid has made some really great friends. [/quote]

Very glad to hear what you said about the teachers. Funny is always good. My son has a great sense of humor so that will be important to him.  Also good to hear they are both nice and fair.  My son is very into things being fair so that would work well for him.  Glad at least one teacher is confirmed to email back! Nice that you have experienced a manageable amount of homework. Thanks for the input--it is helpful![/quote]
