[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In an egalitarian system one gives everyone access to knowledge and the means of gaining such--no mumbo jumbo.  Then let the Bell shape curve fall where it may if you decide to test them.  A very simple solution.  One that Peyton and Phelps (or any high performing musician or artist) understands well.  All this nonsense about giftedness, measuring "raw" intelligence, IQ, measuring "something" is simply --- pure nonsense.[/quote]

[b]Then no need for a "gifted" program or AAP,[/b] which was only allowed to serve special needs of the truly gifted.

Putting everyone back in their base schools and letting the teachers decide at which level they should be taught is the best way to handle things anyway.[/quote]

pretty sure there is. State law and all that.[/quote]

They have to have a gifted program. It's state law.

Right:  for GIFTED learners, not just average high-achievers, which is what AAP has become.[/quote]
