[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the original concept - where there exists a very small percentage of kids that have a high IQ and at one time were not able to access a curriculum that met their needs.  I do believe maybe *AT MOST* and I'm being generous - 5% of FCPS kids have a very high IQ and have exceptionally gifted capabilities.  Those kids should have special resources.  Fine.

That being said, the situation that has devolved over the past 3 decades is a joke.  I am seeing overbearing parents pushing their kids to steal a ticket into the program and I am getting sick of it.  Schools have between 25% - 50% gifted students across the board.  What is the point of that?

What if we decided to create a special classroom for children gifted in sports?  Why not?  Time and time again, those gifted in sports become our brilliant leaders of the future?  Why not continue to foster those values in the classroom?

What if we decided to create special classrooms for children gifted in beauty?  How would society react to that?  One could argue that beauty is a major factor to success.  Intelligence is not a definitive indicator of success.

Anyone else see how ridiculous and unequal this has all become?  If you don't then please help me understand otherwise.
