This really isn't needed. All children in the US are entitled to a free education. States are allowed to determine the minimum standard of education. FAPE arose because children with disabilities were denied equal access to education because of those disabilities. There is no need for FAPE to be extended to all students. What class of students aren't getting a free education? [/quote]

Be grateful your child is bright.  A bright child learns easily and does not need an IEP.

Being bright does not disqualify a child from an IEP.  Being free from disability does. [/quote]

A bright child isn't necessarily born with the users manual to the universe implanted in his brain.  Yes, they learn quickly, but still need to be guided.  But if the amount of guidance is limited relative to their capabilities and ends up holding them back, they may also easily fall into bad patterns and habits driven by their boredom in class, i.e. disruptive behavior, they may sour on school and become disinterested in academics, et cetera.  You don't think that isn't going to happen when they learn the material in half or a third of the time as compared to their classmates and then have nothing to do to keep them occupied?  You do them every bit as much of a disservice by not meeting their needs as you would by not meeting the needs of a child with a learning disability.[/quote]

If a child is that far ahead in everything, then they should skip a grade. [/quote]
