I agree with the others-- any model that sees this as a valid CHOICE, educationally, is probably raising red flags already with respect to gifted learners.
Really, this is the choice that says:
Would you like to go faster?
OR
Would you like to learn more deeply?
Choose wisely!
I have to wonder at the motivation of such a choice, honestly-- this factory approach seems almost intended to punish those students for whom this question inherently poses a Faustian bargain.
Makes me wonder what on earth the administrators are actually thinking.
