I agree with Cricket (and others).
It's not fair, never has been fair, and this doesn't do much to change that particular landscape.
Wouldn't it be great to have GT programming that sieves/screens all students and filters them through enrichment, pullouts, full-time immersion classrooms, and so on-- until that educational system matches each child's actual needs educationally?? No tests, no entry recommendations, no fees, just what kids need and gravitate toward.
Then we might still have a few psycho TigerParents who would be whipping their "enrichment" children into slots in full-time immersion classes, but at least those slots wouldn't be effectively stolen from other kids that needed them.
:sigh: A girl can dream, right?
