19:05 here--that makes more sense! Clearly I need to pay better attention to the listserve messages, LOL.

The committee met last week.

I think handling not getting into middle school magnets is easier for kids who are not in an HGC. At our home school only a couple of kids are accepted to the MS Magnets so it's not a big deal for the students who aren't accepted.

I feel like I know the right words in sports when there are disappointments and would never offer a consolation prize but somehow for this disappointment I am not sure how to handle. Well, mavbe he will get in....


My son did not get in to the Takoma magnet and I think he was disappointed for one night. The next day, he moved on and I don't think he ever gave it a second thought. Kids tend to be way more resilient than we think. It's often the parents who take these things hard, and it's bad when they project that disappointment onto their kids.

So, good luck, but his world won't come crashing down if he doesn't get in.

Thanks, appreciate the advice!

That was several year ago since my oldest child is in MS. I think 4 years ago?

The year before last the HGC acceptance was a large envelope. When did you get HGC acceptance in a small envelope?
