[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of this makes me think about the lottery-based CES programs. Imagine if special education and EML programs were lottery-based. Why is it that only the low performing students are guaranteed the services/programs they need? [/quote] Because gifted students will still score high on standardized tests regardless of what they’re offered. That’s the sad truth. [b]They only care about raising the bottom[/b] in our accountability based system. Also because the IDEA guarantees FAPE for students with disabilities. No such federal law for gifted students. Although with the dismantling of civil rights at the federal level, who knows. [/quote] In fairness, that is the goal of public education. The goal is a sort of minimum competency for our citizenry, not to help every student reach their full potential.[/quote] What a waste of time and potential to sit all day for 13 years of instruction designed only to raise the bottom students. [/quote]
