high school is so very different now in terms of options than it was when I was young (a long time ago). ... The opportunities for having challenge and studying in your area of passion as a high school student *today* are just absolutely 100 times more abundant than they were when I had my relatively "non-challenging" high school experience. I hope they will continue to offer more variety and opportunities as the world changes in the next 10+ years for the children on this board who are just starting out in their education journey.
Just a thought

You are so right. I'm guessing most of us parents here went through school during the early days of developing institutional gifted ed programs. (Actually, the early days of widespread programming for children with disabilities, too, so any of you who are 2e really got hit hard.) With all the challenges remaining, there are many more options now than there were in the past.
