[quote=Anonymous]Overall, my child really enjoyed HGC, notwithstanding the principal and 4th grade teacher who garnered so many complaints.  The other students are a great bunch, and made for a supportive and stimulating environment.  The 5th grade team was a big improvement over the 4th grade team.  This past year the students prepared and gave "TED Talks" -- which, I have to say, was a fantastic exercise.  My child blossomed, learned how to construct a good argument, and gained a lot of confidence in public speaking.  I suppose there were times I thought our child could have been challenged more, but there were also times when our child was stretched.  All in all, we think it was a good experience, and we (including our child) would have done it again.  I just wish the very negative experience with this one teacher (and frankly, the principal too) could have been avoided.  But even that turned out to be a good life lesson and an opportunity to forge new skills.  You can't always avoid unpleasant people...[/quote]
