Both are true: while this is fairly standard, the students needing advanced academics often remain underserved, therefore parents may be "annoyed". When annoyed, put the energy to good use by joining with others interested in problem solving to make a positive difference in the educational experiences for gifted/advanced kids.

Families may often encourage each other with the well-known saying ... "If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem."
