    It was nice to come across this. Even better to see it was high on the e-mail list.

    Education should not be a zero-sum game in which some students prosper at the expense of others...But with the current accountability systems and funding disparities, our most capable students will continue to experience the tragedy of neglect, boredom and an ever-widening gap between what they are learning and what they are capable of learning.

    "In other words, the achievement gap is being narrowed by the wholesale neglect of our gifted students.

    If gifted students were receiving appropriate instruction, the achievement gap would widen every year due to their ability to learn at rates exceeding that of their peers. The fact that gifted students are learning comparatively less demonstrates the severity of the neglect they are experiencing."

    Yikes! Thanks for posting this Inky ~
