[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have the handout for the HGC overview night (my child is currently in 7th grade) it states on the page it's a more advanced science, math, and all the humanities classes.  This was given out when my child was in 3rd grade. Sorry people starting the program now because MCPS definitely watered down the excellent program. [/quote]

Oh, hey, look at what the HGC page on the MCPS website says:

"The Elementary Center Programs for the Highly Gifted provide a learning environment for Grade 4 and Grade 5 students that enriches, accelerates, and extends the MCPS curriculum. It is designed to meet the needs of highly gifted and motivated learners in mathematics, language arts, science, and social studies. The program focuses on critical thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and communication skills. "

How about that.[/quote]

They need to get their act together.  Report cards clearly show it is only a reading and writing program.  Even social studies isn't marked CPHG.   [b]In addition, this is being communicated by staff at the open houses[/b]. [/quote]

Look at the report card

Not at the one I went to.

Also, why do you think the "CPHG" on the report cards mean that it's only a reading and writing program? It seems to me that the "CPHG" is there to indicate the standards the N/I/P/ES is being judged by. Otherwise you'd get endless people complaining about their fourth-grader who is reading at level Z but only got a P.[/quote][/quote]
