+1, a lot of kids with behavior issues actually enjoy gifted program and totally changed their behavior after a while.The torture for this poor kid can be avoided much earlier.Sadly the parent is thinking they are doing a good thing for their kid.Hopefully other parents don't make such mistake.

Just a thought, different teachers suggested same thing to you multiple times, yet you refused again and again without even trying, how come that's "for THEIR best benefits"?What you did is based on a big assumption that "my daughter wouldn't fit in if I put her in gifted program earlier", and that, is an assumption of failure because you never tried. Even after your daughter proved herself a big girl could fit in new environment just fine, you refused again.
Big chance there, your daughter missed a good 4 years of "gifted" program education, which could potentially developed her talents much further.
Ever heard Pink's "Try"? An inspiring song,

She may have been better off in the gifted program if she started earlier, I would be wrong not sending her to GF earlier on, but who knows.Decision is made based on my observation of her... so this is just our case

I saw the decision is made because your job changed. 当然这也没啥错,父母十有八九会这么做。只是不喜欢你说for her benefits.
