[quote=Anonymous]My kid is in 8th grade now at a W-school track. We really pushed DS to apply and then attend the HGC after he was accepted. He resisted the whole way so we turned it down in the end. I am glad we went through the process and I am glad we turned it down. My kid was testing off the charts, but we learned how much other things mattered to him. He likes music, travel sports, and his friends. He is always busy, but not always busy with school activities. As he has progressed in his local MS, I also see that while his grades are good and he is in advanced classes (i.e., Geometry), he is not obsessed with school. He does what he needs to do to get by. I often wonder, if a more advanced setting would set off a spark, but I am happy to let him go through life and learn his passions on his own. [/quote]
