Yes, but even if we grouped them all together, would their individual needs actually be met? We'd prefer to address their individual needs individually, for all children, within a heterogeneous classroom. Once we effectively train teachers on differentiation, this will work like a charm.

I guess what I was trying to say is, call their bluff. I think once yous start talking about school wide changes for all these fictional highly gifted kids you'll discover that they are suddenly more willing to talk about differentiation for one child.
