[quote=Anonymous]We have a (non-quirky) child at the HGC and here are my thoughts. Yes, it is farther away so transportation is an issue - but it is no farther than if we'd gone with a private school, so not a big deal. Our home school was great in many ways, but our child was getting bored. DC needed to be around an entire classroom full of smart kids -- and not have the smart kids be "quiet" and "good" to offset the troublemakers. We thought DC needed to feel recognized for the hard work, good grades, etc. and having the recognition of being part of the HGC is something for her to be proud of. (Kids are constantly recognized for "travel" sports or great music, this is a similar academic opportunity.) No one answer is right for every child/family. If you don't want the spot, don't take it. There will be a long line of others more than happy to take it.[/quote]
