[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hers a crazy thought focus on providing a high quality education regardless of the race or income of the kids in the classroom[/quote]

We do but not everyone is going to excel. We provide equal opportunities. It is up to families to decide what to do with what is being offered.[/quote]

Except you don’t. Especially in K-8, you aim to pull down the high performers, so you can reduce the achievement gap that way, rather than by pulling up the lower performing kids. [/quote]

It's a standard curriculum. There are no gifted classes in top performing countries in the world. [/quote]

Except that all over the world, systems identify the gift in every child and support every child to propel the growth based on strengths so that they reach their maximum potential. This is the first time, at least for us, we see that an education system is denying opportunities for highly abled students using a lottery instead of competitive selection like the one we have for sports.[/quote]

BS. I had to sit through a very long PD about the school system in Scandinavia (I can't remember the country because it was so dull). There are no gifted programs and they were proud of that. I guess the only way of recognizing gifted students is that they took the academic track in HS instead of the vocational one. That's it. And we were shown a documentary about it since it was supposedly the best model in the world.[/quote]
