+1 and my kids both went to the (one) HGC that is split between two schools.

At one of those schools, one of the teachers in particular is a math guru.  No matter what the curriculum might say, she is teaching the kids very advanced math.[/quote]

Yep, I posted up stream and was speaking of the same person.

One of my children had her too.  I think the difference from before is that they were allowed to accelerate beyond where they can accelerate now so that teacher had more sections of math bc the students were accelerated at different rates.  But both Mrs. Salazar and Mrs. Houston told parents at the open house that the HGC was a humanities program.  My child who is still at an HGC has a teacher who has been there more than a decade.  She has mentioned that there are only certain subjects that are HGC and that has always been the case. If you look at the report card it is now marked (starting this year) with CPHG for subjects that are HGC.  Some of the teachers are excellent and go beyond the curriculum though.  [b]For example, in 5th grade my child did an electricity city project in science. This was not a party of the HGC science curriculum bc there is no HGC science curriculum.  But this teacher ôknew that the students could handle/needed science enrichment so provided it.  [/b] I think that there are some HGC teachers who really go beyond the curriculum (which is great). [/quote]

Yes, my child did that too.  That teacher definitely goes beyond the curriculum to levels the kids need.[/quote]

I asked that teacher once about the curriculum and teacher looked at me like I had two heads and said "I just make sure these kids get what they need."   My child loved that class.  [/quote]

Mine did too.  duck said that math teacher is the best math teacher ever.  Which is sayings lot since child went to the TPMS magnet and is now in the Blair magnet.[/quote]
