Separate classes for gifted students?
Monday, November 30, 2009
Some oppose having separate classes for gifted kids. They argue that gifted programs create “haves and the have nots,” and prefer grouping students together and then tailoring the curriculum to each child.
Other educators feel that gifted programs help bright children reach their highest potential, putting future doctors, scientists and engineers in classrooms where they don’t feel embarrassed for being smart.
Which side are you on?
