Of course.

Public school administrators try to shamelessly avoid the topic. It’s involved parents who continuously engage who get it done. Often you need to just pay private practitioners to get the appropriate testing and accommodations necessary to ensure ideal placement.

When I was going through this stuff an influential and wealthy member of the community wanted his daughter tested for the gifted program. She was tested at the same time I was and apparently she failed because she wasn't accepted.

Personally I think it would be fantastic if every kid got to experience the gifted program. It was a lot of fun - not sure how the costs would play out - but there are a lot of different "gifts" out there that don't involve standardized IQ scores.

As a 10 year old kid - getting to make choices like you make in college was pretty cool.
