[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like we might eventually be returning to classrooms of old- one or more "advanced" classes per grade at every school. They won't be hgc, because there are just not that many highly gifted children, but they can still make sure that the children that are more advanced than their peers and not held back. [/quote]

This is exactly what needs to be done!  Encourage the well-performing kids (of every race and SES) at their home school.  Instead of wasting so much time and energy using kids all over and making them leave their friends in 3rd grade.[/quote]
Well that's great except for what if there is no peer group for a super smart low SES kid in a title I school?    Right now if parents could swing it these kid are getting a great opportunity to join an engaged peer group in a great program.      
Also look at what happen with compact math.    These in school programs seem to degrade as pushy parents demand their kids be included.[/quote]
