Right ... but how many of those parents are actually *asking* for extreme measures? And are so sure they're needed that they make that push?

I think most are happy with "just" the GT program because it fits their kids' needs. But when parents see that the standard program *doesn't* fit their needs, hopefully they push -- like you did, Dottie.

In our case -- they didn't give a whit about the test scores. 99.9 percentile or higher across the board (IQ, reading, math), and they didn't bat an eye. It honestly blew my mind.
