[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in NY, not here, in the 80's, and we didn't have any gifted test or anything called gifted education. I think they still don't. Gifted programs here are absurd and almost none of the kids are remotely gifted.[/quote] False. All publics did testing at many levels. [/quote] False. I grew up in Ohio and was in a pull-out gifted program 1 day a week where I was bussed to a different school. There were 5 elementary schools in my district and 3-5 kids per school, per grade got to go. We did balsa bridge building competitions and Odyssey of the Mind - and met kids from other gifted programs in NE Ohio, KY, and Western PA. My college boyfriend grew up near Buffalo NY and was in a gifted program. My husband grew up in New Jersey (NYC suburbs) and was in a gifted program. All in the late 80s. [/quote]
