[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very smart. I went to a top gifted high school. It’s incredible the things my classmates have accomplished. I’m not sure why we’re only supporting the bottom students when the top students will be the future innovators, doctors and businessmen. [/quote]

Oh here we go, the “I went to a top gifted high school”.   Whatever that even means.  You can’t fill a local school with truly gifted kids because the kids are scattered throughout the country.

If the US followed China’s plan the federal government would create a state of the art residential high school where the best from all over the country would attend.

But we aren’t China.  It’s like how most communist countries used to be when they took the best Olympians and removed them from the family at a young age to train full time.  Same with ballet and music.   Same with the sciences.   [/quote]
Chinese gifted schools are local. Think of Stuyvesant or TJHSST. The boarding is because they require students to study all day due to the zero sum Gaokao process, not because they recruit from all over the country.[/quote]
