[quote=Anonymous]9:47 -  When my now HGC kid was in 2nd grade (pre-2.0), he was bored with math.   The teacher said there were extra materials available that he could use when he finished his regular work.   He never did go to those extra materials, probably because he was still new to reading, he liked to socialize, he liked pleasing his teacher and fellow students, and he probably felt proud that he was so smart.  So instead, he helped the kids that sat near him with their math.  Do you honestly think most boys, on their own, are going to sit quietly in a corner and teach themselves multiplication tables, when the class is on addition.  That's just not practical. Is the US going to produce the top scientists and engineers with this kind of system or are they going to just hope to import them from China, India, etc?  The answer is obvious.  Further, this school system is just going to rely on parents like me to do their job with supplemental education.   They are hoping that if they can just marginalize about 10-15% of the student population, that minority can't do anything about it.  They are probably correct in this assumption, but they are hurting the country in the long term.[/quote]
