[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other reason I decided to do HGC for my child (beyond the fact that my child desperately wanted to do HGC) is that from what I've heard [b]it gives these exceptionally bright children time management and project management skills they don't get elsewhere.[/b]  My kid is scattered.  I was the same way.  If I had been taught those skills early, I think it would have made a big difference for me later on.  Also, my kid was already starting to coast at the beginning of 3rd grade and believe that he was all that and a bag of chips.  He needs to be challenged by his peers and realize that he's going to have to work for it.  I am hopeful that after 2 years he'll want to go to TPMS because I think that offers a better education and he will have peers that go there as well - and this is even though we go to a W HS, but it will be up to him.[/quote]

In my experience this is 100% true.  My son is the quintessential absent-minded professor, but he really pulled it together during his time in the HGC.  It has served him well in middle school (TPMS).[/quote]
