[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it fair for the parents of bright children to sequester their child's talent for private gain?  Is it fair to ask for magnet schools?[/quote]

Please. So your solution if to put my child reading at grade 6 level in a class with an English class with a child who can barely read for the public good? Then the world will end up with 2 low-performing children instead of one.

This world needs scientists and engineers to solve its many problems. Abusing smart children by boring them to tears in school instead of nurturing their talents is a loss for society as a whole.[/quote]

This actually happens far less often that people think.  Yes there are incredibly smart kids but by definition they represent about 5% of all kids and maybe we do have to figure something different out, but it is only 5% of all kids.  My bigger issue with these kids is they also need the social skills, so yes maybe they should have to help the struggling kid a bit so they don't get massively inflated egos.  Had one of these at our last school yes he was smart.  Could read Michener and other advanced books in 5th grade, but he was insufferable and rude to everyone around him.  Course home training was an issue also. [/quote]
