I didn’t propose anything. I was replying to the person saying that it wouldn’t make sense to have them in an exclusive program.

They are being sacrificed.

The same way we accommodate mental impairments, we can also accommodate genius. The difference between a genius and an average person is even greater than that of an average person and a regularly mentally impaired one.

So, suppose your iq is 100 and that of an impaired person is 50 (average iq of a person with DS).

As a perfectly average person you will be equally apart from the 50 and the 150 iq. So next time you think anything about the unique abilities and accommodations and needs of a person on the left, think again about the unique abilities, needs and accommodations for the person with an iq of 150.

You, having a superior iq to the person with iq 50 helps you understand his need. And you have a harder time understanding the needs of someone with iq of 150.

Would you like it if we let the people with iq of 50 make decisions for you?

Now, it is what it is, and the gifted population is in a tough spot, but don’t claim they’re not being sacrificed. [/quote]
yes they are being sacrificed, especially the average general ed teacher probably only see one or two in their entire 30-40 years of career and you think they'll know a profoundly gifted when they see one?  no they don't, the profoundly gifted are not the same as the mildly gifted or the smart kids.  they have special needs for a kind with an IQ of 150, only kids with IQ 130- 170 will get them, they need to be grouped properly to make friends not just playmates.  it's not just the academic aspect, it's also the emotional and social aspect.[/quote]
