[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe that's why Fairfax has an "advanced academic" program, not "gifted." Surely you acknowledge some kids are academically advanced. That said, I'm pretty sure Mozart was gifted. [/quote] I do not see any need for such a program in public school. I believe they are all just a waste of money. It makes little difference in the long run if one kid or 100 kids are doing "advanced math." What do they gain by doing math ahead of dumb kids? They all end up in the same pot eventually. Perhaps US curriculum is dumbed down?[/quote] They really don't end up in the same pot though. Some will take multiple AP courses and score 4s and 5s, some will go on to TJ, some to highly selective colleges,. Others will not take any APs, get a basic degree or certificate of completion and maybe not go to college or to NOVA or a non-selective school. They really don't "end up in the same pot." [/quote]
