I view gifted programs that offer experiences to gifted students that would actually benefit more students than are given access to them to be elitist.
And that would be just about all of them.
That’s why I don’t advocate for gifted programs as such but for schools to support all students to strive towards their individual potentials. My kids attend ‘regular’ local primary & secondary schools and over the years, we’ve made many donations so that the schools could provide enrichment activities to any students who are interested in participating.
