[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens if a more diverse crowd gets selected through the school-selected process, but the yield of URMs accepting a center is low because of the difficult transportation arrangements?  My kid is in the HGC and it requires parents to drive kids to a bus stop in the morning and to pick them up in the evening at 5 pm.

I hear what folks are saying about watering down a good program, but isn't a home-school model really the only solution to the logistical piece?  [/quote]

+1  I'd also support a home school model for most, and a tippity top .5% model for the truly gifted (rather than just bright and well coached).  I can think of one child (not even my own kid's age) that might fit that bill, so having a set-aside school for the profoundly gifted the same way we have set-aside schools for kids with other kids of needs would make a lot of sense to me. [/quote]

Sounds good - but what would that mean for schools that only have two or three classes per grade.  Would one whole class be the "advanced" kids?  [/quote]
