Wait. That's probably not right. I was just thinking that their video's not right, showing a perfectly racially diverse classroom with a small class size of engaged students and I jumped on a knee-jerk reactionary response that tugs at the same heart strings. We should probably just stick with the truth, we're just parents trying to do the best for our children. In the case of the gifted children it means not clipping their wings while they're developing. All children deserve the chance to grow and thrive in their own childhood.
Eta: the video's not right because that kind of small, engaged, racially diverse classroom they depicted IS not what they are trying to preserve... Really?! That's a picture of the public school class that ability grouping would destroy?! Uh-huh.
