[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No lack of diversity may not be the only reason, but if all it does is allow well off parents, in this case predominantly white kids to get extra advantages on your tax dollar, why should it be supported. I get why gifted programs are needed, I was in one in Denver and it made a world of difference for education. However, a program such as the one in New York only cements privilege it does not really meet the need for advanced educational opportunity for advanced kids. [/quote] What "privilege" and "extra advantage" would that be? I think that's a red herring. Nobody ever asks about G&T in job interviews, nor does it generally get you anything special toward college or anywhere else in life. It's really just about keeping students sufficiently challenged and engaged when they outpace the regular curriculum.[/quote]
