Agree in principle, but we all know that will never happen.  Meanwhile, a successful program will have been dismantled.  [/quote]

We don't all know that will never happen. I don't know it. Maybe you know it; if so, how do you know it?

Also, according to which criteria do you think the HGC program has been a success?[/quote]
NP.  Well, I know what doesn't make it a success, having different criterias for different groups of kids.  What's the goal of the program?  Is it not to meet the needs of the top 2 to 3% of the kids in the entire county?  If it meets those needs, then it's a success.  If it doesn't, then it's a failure.  Pretty simple.

You are questioning whether the current method of identifying the top 2 to 3% is adequate.  The question is "how do you measure giftedness"?  Here's one way that surely doesn't measure academic giftedness: musical, artistic, athletic talent.  These are all great things, and I would *love* my kids to be talented in any of those areas, but it's not a measure of academic "giftedness".[/quote]
