[quote=Anonymous]You still haven't posted anything that indicates the impact of not meeting the needs of advanced learners.  So what if they're bored, uneganged and dismissive of school?  That sounds like the average teenager.  You utterly fail to understand what 'impact' means.  What percentage of the student population is affected?  You claim this is a widespread problem but you don't provide any information as to how widespread it is.  The third article which you love so much is suspect because the author believes the reasons more isn't offered is because it "offends our egalitarian sensibilities" (if that were the case then why are LD kids receiving special education) and "the deep strain of anti-intellectualism that pervades our culture."  Really?

Your inability to post a link, your inability to summarize information, your inability to provide statistics and the age of the articles you did provide (the most recent is from 2004, the oldest from 1996) all point to someone who has not done researched this area and expects people to just accept what she perceives to be true.  I fully support differentiated instruction and AAP classes.  You just haven't provided anything that indicates the needs of advanced learners aren't being met.  You have provided nothing that supports your assertion that what's already being provided isn't sufficient.  Everyone else who has chimed in indicates their advanced learners don't have the problem you claim yours does.  Why don't you contact one of the 'many specialists' you claim are available to SN parents and see what she can do for you.  [/quote]
