[quote=Anonymous][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] How would you know that? In NYC the gifted programs have been off and on over the decades. I don’t know about upstate. [/quote] I’m from upstate — no IQ testing at my public school in the 80s and 90s. We didn’t have a “gifted” program; starting in middle school, they tracked kids into honours or non-honours for all subjects. If you finished the school offering for a subject, you could take classes at the private university in our town. So yeah. Not all publics did testing at many levels.[/quote]
