Shows that she has no clue about GT kids. So many students cannot retain information, but GT students don't forget. They have a high retention rate. I can't believe that some teachers still don't get this.

In 1973, I was in 8th grade. I was in a study to determine if highly accelerated students, who were non-Spanish speaking, could learn six weeks of Spanish - and retain their English. It sounded stupid then and even stupider now.

And yes, we remember English. It was a different time and schools were newly integrated with Spanish speakers.
