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]

More than 20% of the students in my child's HGC grade are not in compacted math.  And the HGC said that they had students not in compacted math last year who were accepted to the TPMS magnet.  [/quote]
