Thanks Freya, I did find that article interesting. Likewise the article on Terrance Tao linked earlier, who went through school in our city at the same time that I did. It as fascinating to see an article documenting the exact "anti-elitism" that I encountered in my own schooling (though I was obviously nowhere near Tao's situation, or prehaps because I was nowhere near his level of giftedness, I still encountered "No we couldn't possibly give your child extension work because that would be elitist and wrong").
