It has been decades since I was in school. I was in the gifted program and found it to be an utter waste of time. My daughter is now in a gifted program and we both find it to be an utter waste of time. I attended a school in a middle class area and my daughter attends a school in a fairly wealthy area. Is there any studies which show a benefit to gifted programs in schools which are adequately funded?
