I am saying this in a tiny mouse voice because I am afraid of the ramifications of it. Also I am afraid I am not answering your question......

put together all the good evidence of how in other countries they support the gifted and talented and then show just how far those countries are ahead........... like brainyburg gives $1,000,000 to the gifted and talented and their score are "X"

show how putting money into gifted education pays of in high scores and more super fantastic scientists, and other superheros. wink

they send a link to every politician in Washington...... esspecially the ones on the at http://www.ed.gov/index.jhtml and this one http://www.nea.org/index.html

and anyone else you can think of.......

i know, it's crazy.......
