[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about closing the achievement gap from the top down by eliminating so-called “gifted and talented” programs like NYC has done?[/quote] I would suggest going the opposite direction and try to meet all children where they are when possible.[/quote] But the GT programs are elitist and cater only to the privileged.[/quote] I guess that's one way of looking at it. Another is meeting each kid where they are to ensure all children receive an appropriate education.[/quote] 99% of the kids identified as gifted are not gifted they are smart and will do fine in elementary school. They will work faster in middle school. They will take all AP classes and go to college. The truly gifted minority will easily find a scholarship to a private school because they are rare. [/quote]
