[quote=Anonymous]I respectfully disagree with the last two posts. I have a perfectionist child who works hard in the magnet, but I also have a procrastinator who loved and did well at the magnet. Perfectionist has slow processing issues and we've been working through his needs with the school. Not all teachers are helpful, as would happen at any school. But some have been. We did need to get a 504 plan put in place to get some supports. Once we brought in neuropsych report, magnet teachers really "got" the issues and tried new approaches that worked well. In elementary HGC, he had teachers who "got" him and really were great at helping to work through the issues.

OP: Because the schoolwork is interesting, they are more willing to work than when the work is boring. That said, my procrastinator learned skills like how to get his homework done in class and how to skate the 90 percent line.

Having the peer group really makes all the difference. I've looked at privates several times; thus far, everyone has steered me back to the public magnets to get both challenge and peer group, especially in math and science.[/quote]
