[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] No, that is a misstatement. More accurately: 1. A large vocabulary is a large vocabulary. 2. [b]A large vocabulary is probably not necessary[/b], and is definitely not sufficient, for success in the humanities magnet.[/quote] My kid is in HGC, and I would disagree with the bolded. While, a large vocab. in and of itself is not sufficient for success in HGC, I think it is a necessity. I've seen some of the writing assignments my DC has been doing in HGC, and a large vocabulary is necessary at this level to earn at least a P.[/quote] But that's circular. You need a large vocabulary in the HGC because the HGC expects you to have a large vocabulary. And furthermore it's a reasonable expectation, because people who do not have a large vocabulary do not score well on the vocabulary part of the test and therefore don't get admitted to the HGC.[/quote]
