There is a benefit to improving the education levels of the gifted students. Often these are the people who later make electric cars, cancer meds, iPhones, etc. Society needs this, and the way to get kids to that level is to educate them appropriately from an early age.

The unfortunate reality is we spend lots and lots of money trying to close the gap. And we do not have enough money left to provide an appropriate education to the top one percent of children.

While the children will be fine without the higher education in the long run, society loses the benefit of their genius. [/quote]

People just need to get out of their dogmatic ways and reform the school system. We have the technology to personalize children’s education.

That's what APS has been proclaiming to do these past several years (personalized learning). That's what the iPads were to facilitate.[/quote]

I don’t think they’ve tried to make that argument for some time now, but if I’m wrong please say so. Lexia, Dreambox and reflex math are all grade-level locked. You can’t advance beyond what they teach in class, and the gifted Ed coordinators make very clear gifted kids don’t ever learn anything that isn’t part of the grade-level curriculum already.
