[quote=Anonymous]My child was waitlisted, and while I was initially disappointed, I feel like he will be fine either way. I know there are so many gifted/smart kids in our county and that it would be a long shot. Thankfully his home school is a good one.

He complains of being bored/not challenged by math at his school, but the other classes seem appropriate for him, so we can give him extra math at home, as he's been requesting. If anything, the reduced amount of homework at his current school will allow him more free time for outdoor play, chores, reading for pleasure, and his own projects (of which there are many.)

I'm a bit concerned about him socially, as he doesn't fit in with the majority of boys whose focus is on sports. He says all the boys play soccer at recess and there's not much for him to do. He's still really into imaginary play, and not as many kids seem to like it at age 8-9. So I thought the HGC would be a better fit socially. Any advice on how to give him some support in that area so he feels more comfortable with peers at his home school? [/quote]
