[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And what is this all about?

SILVER SPRING, Md. — It was a searing summer day before the start of the school year, but Julianni and Giselle Wyche, 10-year-old twins, were in a classroom, engineering mini rockets, writing in journals and learning words like “fluctuate” and “cognizant.”

Do they now have remedial 'gifted' education? Why were these kids even in school?

You know the answer to this, if you take a minute (or care).  [b]The children are naturally gifted (their test scores etc. bear that out), [/b]but their education thus far has not been up to the level of the children with whom they will be attending class, so they can get quick instruction in the summer and be able to be just as competent as the child that is coming from an enhanced, enriched, background.[/quote]

Mkay.. and then there are other children who are also 'naturally gifted' and there test -- and proficiency -- scores bear that out, but their education thus far has not been up to the their abilities - and then they are turned down for enriched instruction and are stuck in their home schools with ridiculously dumb-down curriculum.

Doesn't that bother at you at all?[/quote]
