[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] I also grew up in NY and they definitely tested us in 3rd grade. I was in the gifted program in 4th/5th grade. Now, I think it was much smaller scale than around here. I doubt my parents would have sent me if I had been required to change schools but the program happened to be housed at my home school. I think it was just one class for the entire district and I was with the same kids for both years. I’ve always been a bit curious about it too, I vaguely remember taking the test but don’t remember any specifics. I did well enough in MS/HS (top 10%, accelerated/AP classes) but wasn’t valedictorian or anything.[/quote]
