[quote=Anonymous]Kids, like adults, make assumptions all the time and kids, like adults, can often be wrong. Your child has absolutely no idea of the other child is qualified to be in the program. It's possible that other child has sky high test scores and IQ but is bored out of his mind because the HGC work is too easy. A lot of kids think my kid is stupid but they would be shocked to see his test scores and his grades when he actually completes an assignment. I think that if the district wants to change the HGCs into CESes where one of the qualifications is if kids are well behaved I wouldn't necessarily object but that isn't how it is now. Despite the name change, it's still to give highly gifted kids a chance at a deeper curriculum. It works for most kids but might not work for all of them. It doesn't mean they shouldn't have been admitted.[/quote]
