[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "outside enrichment" comments are meant to diminish high achievers indicating somehow they couldn't do it on their own. And because they are just average kids with extra support provided by their wealth and privilege, the school system shouldn't have to shoulder the burden of their self-inflicted advancement and artificial gap creation against other groups who would be just as advanced if they had the same privilege. What's pretty funny about it all, is that really smart kids are just kids with special needs, if you really think about it. But since their needs appear like a positive, they are ignored and even diminished by many critics of advanced academic curriculum/programs. [/quote] No, not at all. But prelearning math does skew both the grading curve and the teaching style of teachers. And it has an effect on students who do not prelearn math. [/quote]
