re: Do most school systems give kids IQ tests?

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.

Essentially, the “gifted” programs are the last vestiges of a “classical” education before the advent of modern corporate-drone training became the educational norm. Except, you have to be extra, ultra special to get to experience it.
My school’s gifted program covered a lot of Ancient Greek mythology. There was also a shite ton of sketching and painting for creative enrichment....and brain teasers and riddles.

There was a kid...son of professor, who kept getting tested to get into gifted until high school. He never made it
It was some big badge of honor for him to be in the Gifted classes for some reason.
