Actually, we do exactly the opposite with learners on the other end of the spectrum, in the name of holistic development--like placing children with significant learning delays with their age-peers for socialization reasons. It's mostly societal regression to the mean by philosophy.
AEH I don't want to de-rail Knute's post, which is so valuable and this is so tangential. Perhaps this should move to a new discussion? But I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on the extent to which philosophies about to how manage education for children with learning delays is applied to gifted children (and perhaps particularly 2E kids), and how positive or negative the outcomes of that seem to you.
