[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] My kids are in the "gifted" program and in my opinion are not gifted just very smart. But that is what the current "gifted" programs are designed for. When they are pulling 15-20% of kids, they know that they are not all gifted. And frankly, if gen ed wasn't so watered down, parents wouldn't be so motivated to get their kids into "gifted" education. I certainly don't care if you call it gifted. You could just call it advanced or accelerated or whatever. [/quote] 99% of the kids in the program are academically very smart but not in the gifted range. Still not bad. [/quote]
