I do know some parents that sign the papers without realizing they've signed anything, BUT they also send home something home a couple of days before that says on such and such a day your child will be tested for admission into GATE (at least for the IQ test) and to make sure the child gets a good nights sleep and eats a good breakfast. So I would find it hard to believe they would miss that.
I think if any of these kids are in the 3rd grade that they could also have gotten in via the OLSAT which is given to all the kids like the CSTs were. A parent might not realize that the OLSAT was for GATE.
