Those programs are targeted (usually) to the 2/3 of gifted kids who are closest to 'bright.' Very often they are totally useless to kids with the higher LOG, unless they are combined with gradeskips, and subject accelerations, and other enrichment opportunities.
Did you know, GM5, that the 'more of the same' problem is so common that it has it's own abreviation? MOTS!
