[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This type of thing will really be the final nail in the coffin for public education. They think they can get away with it because people don’t have other options, but they do. Especially those families.[/quote]

Seems like the next decade will create many middle and lower class voters who will want to vote for school vouchers.[/quote]

Obviously this is part of
the very intentional efforts of many people in power. In the PNW it’s coming from a strain of angry libertarian tech bro types. Elsewhere it’s more of a religious or right thing, but it doesn’t matter because the end result is the same: drain public goods of resources and divert them to line the pockets of people in the private sector while insisting it’s good for the little people.[/quote]

The efforts to destroy gifted and talented education are coming entirely from the LEFT.

Ie: democratic politicians and voters. [/quote]

Elementary school students don’t need the program and most of the kids in it aren’t even gifted, they just tested well.   The smart kids will have their AP classes in high school, do well and go to a good college.    If a child is actually a prodigy then the local gt program wouldn’t be enough for them anyway.  [/quote]
And yet, the state requires a highly capable program in K - 12. Are you actively fighting to change that requirement? Or are you okay with the district lying and saying they have an elementary school HC program when they don't. Because claiming it's now in every classroom at every school but no, we can't actually define it or tell you any specifics about it means there's nothing.
