Destroying education for the gifted.

:clap2:

This is why frugal public school systems never put much emphasis on G&T curriculum until integration, and then G&T programs were invented as an alternative for parents who considered their kids part of an elite group that deserved a higher level of education.

A way to learn what, how fast. If some of them them get a mile ahead of the pack they are called "gifted". With just a little help they could have gone ten miles and there might be 5 times as many.

Would a National Recommended Reading List cost too much?

Do you really think that a kid that is gifted needs a reading list? Or, that a reading list would inspire anyone to read more than public libraries?

Is there ANYTHING that isn't offered over the internet that a Gifted kid cannot access??

No.

The only justification for G&T programs today is to force public school systems to budget a program that satisfies parents who want to segregate their kids from the system's General Population which includes the poor and the dark.

IF the school system left the gifted alone so they could pursue whatever education they wished you might have a point. That's the purpose of gifted programs. To segregate the students with advanced ability away from the poor, the dark and the stupid. Unless the poor and dark are gifted also. Nothing is going to help the stupid.
 
Why do Republicans even care? Short answer? They don't.

The "gifted" don't believe science is a faith, evolution a lie and climate change a conspiracy. I suspect less than 6% of them would even admit to being a "Republican". Certainly no Republicans on this board would care to be called "gifted". That would make them "elite". They don't want "elite". They prefer beer.

We are talking about grammer shool kids dean. They ptobably have the same mental capacity as the average democrat politician but I doubt if the "gifted" kids identify a political affiliation yet. Give them couple more years and they might become little Obama chanting global warming nazis.

Because a 6th grade education is all Republicans aspire to?
 
Hey they are already gifted, why do they need more of a boost up?

It's to stop wasting their time! A child that is interested in his or her education should not have instruction time taken up with DOLTS or the disabled who can't help their outbursts. Even the gifted, the highly intelligent, the genius, needs to have instruction.

How many so called GIFTED programs are just more complicated idiotic busy work where the gifted are supposed to compete with each other? Join MENSA have fun. :lol:

Even the poorest "gifted" child, at least here in America, has access to a public library and most of them have computers to use for free. Even if their school sucks they can learn ten times as much in two hours in a library after school than the 6 hrs they may have to waste in a poor school.

Obviously there may be exceptions. But...smart kids will find a way to fill their heads with knowledge. The resources at any library will have authors a hundred times more knowledgeable on any given subject matter than almost any teacher in grade-middle or senior high school.

If a kid doesn't know HOW to learn..then they are not gifted..no matter what their parents say.

Before the invention of the printing press keeping people ignorant was not a problem. They could not read. Now we have a new method of promoting ignorance. Bombard people with bullsh#.

Most of the Internet is bullsh#.

You are quite naive.
