[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was one of those kids who missed the IQ requirement by one or two points, and was the next in line. I've always been an extremely hard working, straight A student and successful. BUT I was very frustrated that I wasn't allowed into the magnet program because I could do the work. I see both sides. Yes, gifted children need stimulation. Struggling students need support. But hard workers like me who also need to be challenged shouldn't be lumped in non-gifted track because I missed the mark on one test. There has to be a way to challenge EVERYONE and not make anyone feel inferior. [/quote] This is true. It's not that there should be no "gifted" education, but we need to stop thinking about it in terms of "gifted" v. ordinary. Rather, how can all students be challenged no matter what their starting point?[/quote]
