[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope the field test at the three schools with local HGC classes goes well.  Personally, I think the best solution is to open a classroom at each ES.  The representation would be closer to the school system as a whole, there would be no barrier to entry like a long bus ride, and it would make life a lot better for the kids socially.  Yes, it would water down the intellectual level somewhat, but I think on average the pros of such a system would outweigh the cons.[/quote]

I agree with this.  The HGC-accepted kids, including my own, we know at our home school would take this option in a heart beat.  I frankly don't really care if my child is among the top 2%.  We happily would agree to be with the top 10% but have access to a more enriched program at the home school.  I honestly believe his current grouped friends at the local school would do just as well.

Lots of bright kids in our Cold Spring cluster and it is an inconvenience for all to have to bus the children and disrupt their overall social environment in order to go to another ES.
