HGC is not heavily math/stem focused.  It's much more of a language arts program.  So, maybe that kid might not have done as well at HGC.  [/quote]

Reading/writing and STEM are not mutually exclusive.[/quote]

No, but a program that is heavily STEM focused is not the same as a more language arts based one.  Hence, in MS, they start separating STEM from LA type magnets.  It's also why in ES, they have a separate program for advanced math learners - compacted math.  A child can be in one program but not the other. [b]There are some kids in HGC that are not in compacted math[/b], and several in compacted math but not in HGC.[/quote]

At my child's HGC, every fourth-grader in the HGC is in compacted math, according to the teacher at back-to-school night.[/quote]

That's just the case for your particular class.[/quote]

exactly!  At my child's HGC, there are a couple not in compacted math.[/quote]
