[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The HGC curriculum is not the same as the regular curriculum.  That aside, the classroom experience just isn't the same.  As one of the HGC teachers put it at the open house we attended last year, the teachers are often facilitators to the students' discussions. When I sat in on a class I was amazed at how many questions the students asked because they were so engaged.  The students were taught something but then they quickly moved to all of the exceptions to the rule. So a child who can participate in that kind of discussion is not having the same experience as a student in a regular classroom.  [/quote]

Are parents allowed to sit in on a class before the acceptance deadline?[/quote]

Call your school.

I honestly do not understand why anyone would turn down an invitation to the Center program.[/quote]

Because not all Center teachers are necessarily the same.  In the forum, people have commented on good and not so great teachers.[/quote]
