Interestingly, there appear to be some opposing viewpoints in UBC's special education faculty:
"...you�re also adding students with advanced learning needs in the classroom. It�s a very reasonable thing that a teacher will actually sacrifice first the student with advanced learning needs. � When you don�t give them enough challenged curriculum, how do they have a growth mindset? They don�t grow.�
--Dr. Owen Lo (PhD in high ability studies, MA in gifted education)
And this, from the parent of what appears to be a twice exceptional student, who, presumably, is concerned that her child will be twice excluded:
�I think you�re going to exclude the kids on each end of the learning profile more. It�s not becoming more inclusive. It is going to be more exclusive because those parents who can afford to seek out different resources will take their kids out of the public system to find a private school.�
