Point is, it's small enough to have its character changed rather easily ;-) (I do sort of agree, but you also have to know that acceleration really doesn't exist in the UK in state schools in recent years, and neither do gifted programmes, so when parents ask about either, they will be told to let go of the idea. From a US perspective, this looks off-putting; from a UK one, it is realistic.)
It doesn't exist in NZ either but the NZ gifted association board is less negative. I post here rather than there as NZ has a very small pool so privacy is difficult.
