[quote=Anonymous]There's research suggesting that telling your child he or she is brighter than others can have several possible negative effects, ranging from the child thinking s/he can coast and doesn't have to put in a best effort, to instilling a fear of failure. I also agree with the concern about creating entitled brats. That said, I support gifted and magnet programs, and I don't know how you separate classrooms without the kids figuring out what's going on. They do all know who's in advanced classes, and it's also demoralizing for the kids in "regular" classes. We create a different set of problems if we take the view that bright kids must be entertained every minute of the day. This does the opposite of encouraging creativity and exploration because it's so very passive.[/quote]
