[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Personally, I think if a kid needs to have $600+ tutor to get into HGC, then kid doesn't belong there. Not saying all kids that have tutors are like this, but if a kid on his own can't get in, then it's questionable whether the kid belongs there[/quote]

Why? The kid is clearly willing and able to do the work. The parents are willing to provide support at home so that he stays with or above the rest of the group. HGC isn't just high IQ. There are many high IQ students who have no motivation and would not be able to keep up with the workload.

This is such a strange American perspective. Achievement and work doesn't count or shouldn't be expected. [/quote]

Kids have to work hard and parents also have to work hard. When your kids are getting enrichment outside of school, they need to be driven to these places, they need to be provided with materials, they need you to be there to clarify questions, they need your presence - it is a shift in lifestyle and it requires the parent's time, effort and money.
