Labeled? After dc was tested to be gifted, dh and I took IQ test online for fun and we both scored very high (of course, one can argue those are not very accurate). [ Reply | More

i was in a gifted program. dd is too young to be labeled, so i have no idea where she would be. that said, we left the nyc school system (and US in general) in part to avoid this altogether. [ Reply | More

Neither I nor DH were tested for giftedness. I did attend honor classes in high school, whatever that means, though. I would say both of us would have been tested gifted if our parents cared enough about this. [ Reply | More

I don't know if they had that when I was in school graduated 1987, I know was not, in any event. I think it is so pretenious hearing someone say their kid is gifted and in a gifted program. I don't know why, maybe I'll feel different if it turns out I have a gifted child, who knows. It always sounds like bragging, it seems every person I meet has a gifted child and is way advanced for his/her age, so it doesn't seen that impressive anymore when I hear it. [ Reply | More

both dh and I were in TAG programs growing up. our kids seem really smart and creative, did well on erb's, doing well in schools but haven't had them go through doe process. but at younger ages, I think giftedness=highly motivated, white umc , highly educated parents providing enrichment.
