[quote=Anonymous]Of course there are misfires. A friend of my son in a Highly Gifted center left the center at end of 4th to return to the home school ( another student came in to replace the departing child in the 5th grade center). My son tells me the kid was not happy and the parents were struggling with the workload and helping him with organization management skills. This seemed to stress out the family unit. They opted to get out of the hot kitchen. The academic screening bar for HGC and magnet programs is much higher than for private schools our kids also applied to. The kids and families are highly motivated in my son's HGC. Many of the children are of immigrant backgrounds (e.g, Africa, China, Korea, India, Eastern European) in our HGC ... it appears to approach 80 percent (guess). The families and children are bright, highly motivatd and hard working. There is a high tolerance for sacrifice. The lone child in the 4th grade that opted to get out of the heat in the kitchen was Caucasian. I'll let you know if others drop out in the 5th grade. So far, 1 out of 50 at my HGC.[/quote]
