Y'all've browbeat the Universtiy into thinking they have to show you that we have any gifted students in Alabama. You know those who can count past 20, their fingers and toes.

TIL that OP doesn't understand the difference between "gifted" and "privileged".

The goal of gifted education is to identify students who show potential to develop beyond traditional benchmarks set for children at their age level. But the method of identifying such students and the level of resources allocated to gifted education vary from state to state and country to country.

For instance, Jolly said that an over-reliance on aptitude scores can disproportionately exclude racial and ethnic minorities or students from low-income households.

You realize the entire point of the program is to find and help gifted kids who are not hyper privileged and make sure they don't fall through the cracks solely because of their lack of inherent privelege, right?
