[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't "make" students gifted. My TJ kid was born "gifted." The whole idea of "making" gifted students is simply stupid. [/quote] The program described in the article selects "borderline" students who were close to the cutoff and then puts them into special "quasi-gifted" classes, with the stated intent that they later test higher and make the cutoff, and with the unstated intent that the students are challenged and prepared for HS honors and AP classes. Because their gifted program seems to be tiny (one year had only 2 students), it seems like a good idea and an excellent program. [/quote]
