The situation seems to be rather different in the U.S. then. In Israel you cannot find classes with the number of girls exceeding that of boys, and actually, since there are just a few girls, some of them choose to leave the program, and the number drops even more.
About ADHD or quasi-ADHD, I completely agree - not letting the kids move around enough can certainly make anyone seem like a potential ADHD...
Are the teachers there (Israel) mostly men or women? Just trying to figure this out.
My son's gt class last year was mostly girls, this year he says it's an even mix. I wondered if the mostly (?) female teachers in the u.s. mostly recommend what they see as gifted, at least in the early years.
