If the material were suddenly too hard or the pace too fast, I'd expect grades to suffer, not stay roughly equivalent. The study does seem to show waste , in my opinion, since I don't think it's unreasonable to expect proper mental stimulation of gifted kids to have a positive academic result, and I don't think GT dollars should be wasted on non-gifted kids either. I agree that the study obviously doesn't show that all gifted education is wasteful, though.
