[quote=Anonymous]Agree with the PP, especially those with perfectionist tendencies can spend a lot of time with the homework, both with daily assignments and projects, because the projects have many steps to them and often involve many smaller projects in one.  The perfectionists try to make these...perfect and sometimes lose sight of the big picture.

My DS initially was stumped by a lot of the writing assignments, since he never had to write much before.  He had to actually analyze the books, stories, poems etc that they read, not just regurgitate the plot, and this was difficult for him. That being said, he is now much better at all of that and his skills have really improved (as his 5th grade teacher has assured us).

And we are very glad he was at an HGC...it has really stimulated him and he has never once complained of being bored.  I think 4th and 5th grade at his old school would have been a waste of time.

(don't know about the implementation of Curriculum 2.0 at the HGCs, since next year would be the first year.  That has been discussed on another thread)[/quote]
