I believe that answer is NO. I have 2 daughters in the same grade...same mother and father, same household, etc. One is in the Gifted and Talented Program, and one is not. The one who is in the program is in no way smarter, better educated, more focused, more goal oriented, etc. than the one who is not in the program. If anything, it's the other way around. It depends on the quality of the gifted program and the individual temperament of the student. The education system does not challenge average students enough, and has continually failed gifted students as well. There aren't enough norms to develop gifted education standards, but this doesn't excuse the problems for students within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
Journal for the Education of the Gifted was created in 1978.

I would think that a gifted kid should go to private school because this kid might get a better education for this child's advance learning.

The gifted program is what I am in. It lets children who have a different way of thinking have no limit and to think free. The gifted program also has advantages, in my gifted program we take Latin.
