I disagree with this simply because it is not the job of the gifted kids to create balance in a classroom environment, any more than it would be an obligation on the part of a special needs child to provide the same.

These are kids that deserve an appropriate education, and the augmentation that they would provide other children should not be a factor in whether or not they receive it.

That's basically asking children to subsidize their own intelligence to benefit everyone else, regardless of whether or not it actually benefits the student.
