[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ Yup, you're confused alright.  You aren't even consistent in your critiques of the articles.

[quote=Anonymous][quote]LOL! There were also three recent research studies posted at 11:46 which support advanced learning.

You are just like FOX News: Spin, lie, dismiss, deny.... That's all you've demonstrated yourself to be capable of - not a single article, citation or report to support your anti-advanced-learner position. [/quote]

I'm not anti-advanced learner in the least and I don't know how you interpreted my posts as that.  Like many other PPs, I don't believe advanced learners in our area are poorly served.  I don't believe their needs are unmet.  I wonder if you even read the abstracts you posted at 11:46.  Only one of the studies focused solely on 'gifted' students (the one on Science-Focused STEM Interventions) and it pertained more to the effects of increased professional development for teachers.  It compared two populations of gifted students.  One population had teachers who attended professional develop, the other population did not.  The results, not surprising, showed greater achievement in the group which had teachers that had additional training.

The first study documented the benefits of differentiated reading instruction. It mentions nothing about gifted learners and it seems the results are applicable to all learners.

I'm not sure why you included the third study.  It just seems to show that 'non-gifted' students in a gifted classroom achieved at a rate similar to those not in a gifted classroom.  I guess the conclusion is that being non-gifted in a gifted classroom doesn't hurt you. How does that prove your point?[/quote][/quote]

What?  Not consistent?  I wasn't the one who posted articles purporting to be about advanced learners but weren't.  One was about differentiated reading instruction and made no reference to 'advanced' learners, one was about teacher development in 'gifted' classrooms and one was about 'non-gifted' students in a 'gifted' classroom.  You then told me I was hung up on the term 'gifted'.

I believe you have some mental health challenges and that there is no point in engaging with you.  I should have signed off when I learned you like the approach of the Fox Network but will do so now.  Good bye.[/quote]
