[quote=Anonymous][quote=annallalla]For us, the reason we sent our son to the HGC program was socialization. It was difficult for him to become friend with kids who did not share his interests.In the HGC program, he was able to meet kids like him and he became happier overnight.
Our second son was also accepted to the HCG program but we choose not to send him there because he was already doing well in his regular school so we did not see the point of sending him to a new school with a long commut

I have a bright, quirky kid.  Socialization will unlikely to ever be a strength of his.  He's very happy at our HGC and has made friends.  Even at the HGC, I wouldn't say his social circle is huge.

What has been most shocking for us at the HGC is the surprise that even though all of the county is doing 2.0, it is implemented VERY differently at the home schools.  Our home school chose to strictly adhere to 2.0 so the kids from our home school are at a noticable academic disadvantage.

Most parents have complained 2.0 at the HGC is not much work/new information -- but it is challenging for us because our home school did not teach a lot of this.
