"You know I'm really, really surprised and disappointed that there aren't more gifted private (or charter) schools in our area. It's frustrating really."

(I can't figure out the quote box thing again. I swear I'm losing my brains!)

I live in a major metro area in Texas and there are only 2 schools that I've found for gifted kids and they are both high schools. I'm thinking of calling them and asking "hey, what do parents of elementary age gifted kids do until they get to high school age. It is frustrating considering the number of schools there are that focus on "learning differences".

ETA: I don't mean to imply that kids with learning differences don't need those services. Our society just seems skewed.
