what exactly Is meeting the GT specialist really going to achieve that SG Maths or Beast Academy and later AoPS cannot?

My philosophy has been exactly this with regards to math. I am yet to see a GT specialist who can provide more challenging content for math than AOPs and Beast Academy (we have moved 4 schools already).

I chose to reserve my energy for High School when the stakes are high.

I stopped advocating when I realized that my child had a few things he enjoyed about the math curriculum (word problems and hands-on math) and that he was not bored all day long. I still bring it up in teacher meetings but I put more effort into enrichment at home these days.
