[quote=Anonymous]What you have provided is better than what you provided early but not by much.  Do you not see how what you provided is different than what was provided regarding research on the education of the disabled?  I'm trying to help you but you're not making it easy.

http://www.accelerationinstitute.org/Nation_Deceived/ND_v1.pdf  [b]This is clearly a biased policy paper.  It has, perhaps, some solid evidence in it but from the tone, this is something I'd expect to see discussed on Fox News.[/b]
http://www.ed.gov/pubs/NatAtRisk/index.html Published in 1983! [b]This was 30 years ago.  So much has changed in the last 30 years.[/b]
Marland Report, abstract: http://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED056243 Published in 1971!  [b]This was published before I was born! This was back when learning disabled kids weren't even in general ed classrooms![/b]

Along with innumerable books, articles and other works which point out the flaws and impacts of not providing an adequate and appropriate education for advanced learners, examples:

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/05/nyregion/05education.html?pagewanted=1&_r=0  [b]I read the first page and didn't see how it was germane to a discussion on advanced learners
[/b]
Davidson, Jan and Bob, with Vanderkam, Laura (2004). Genius Denied: How to Stop Wasting Our Brightest Young Minds. New York, NY: Simon and Schuster.  [b]Don't know why you included this.  It's a book, not a research study.
[/b]

I don't believe I'll be returning to this thread.  I find the tone has become too much like a Fox News show.[/quote]
