[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe that's why Fairfax has an "advanced academic" program, not "gifted." Surely you acknowledge some kids are academically advanced. That said, I'm pretty sure Mozart was gifted. [/quote] I do not see any need for such a program in public school. I believe they are all just a waste of money. It makes little difference in the long run if one kid or 100 kids are doing "advanced math." What do they gain by doing math ahead of dumb kids? They all end up in the same pot eventually. Perhaps US curriculum is dumbed down?[/quote] And that is where you are wrong. Children don't "all end up in the same [s]pot eventually". Different professions require different emphasis. [/quote] Agree! They don’t remotely end up in the same pot. Everyone is not the same. Where does this idea come from anyway?[/quote]
