[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]

You can’t destroy smart kids ability to learn.   Top colleges are filled with intelligent kids who went to a regular elementary school, maybe more advanced middle school class, AP classes in high school.    They didn’t need the separation.   [/quote]No, they're filled with kids who did get separation - if not via gifted and talented, then via the financial barriers of a private school, tutoring, or a public school zoned to a rich area. There are next to no kids at the very top olympiads who did not get some sort of enrichment beyond the ordinary curriculum.[/quote]
