also a pet theory i like (that isn't actually true or provable) is that gifted programs are meant to remove children deemed smarter from their communities and funnel them into middle management and academia, so they don't become agitators for change in their communities and workplaces
That could be true, but I think only if there's a systemic effort to diagnose and put those children into specialized establishments. Where I'm from, it doesn't appear to be the case.
