[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't disagree that some kids are not getting chosen because they still have a peer group at their home school. What greatly upsets me is that these other children get a completely different curriculum.

In the example above, shouldn't Betty and Veronica both have access to the same curriculum? Especially when you have some much lower performing children/schools having full classes taught with it? If there is such a need for expansion (which there is) why not try at least one home school hgc model in the cluster with the most high performing children? No, they didn't because... well you can fill in the blank.

Leaving children that are very gifted in their home schools bored is not beneficial and the defense of at least they have a peer group to be bored together is not adequate.

I have to agree with this PP.  I'm at a Focus school and kid goes to an HGC (not Coldspring), but it's crazy that kids who score so well on the test aren't afforded the same opportunity as kids in other parts of the county.  [/quote]
