Knew a young substitute teacher in the Montgomery County PSS and she said that they would not separate gifted students from ordinary students, on the theory that the gifted students naturally helped the slower students by advice and example. She said it did not work; the only thing that came out of it was that gifted students were bored with the classes and typically had bad grades due to it.There is already a strong move to level the cognitive playing field. For those of us who have kids, how many times have you heard "All kids are gifted, all kids are talented". Total bullshit of course being pushed by a Liberal Government Education program.
Isn't that the same excuse used when mentally disabled students are mainstreamed.Knew a young substitute teacher in the Montgomery County PSS and she said that they would not separate gifted students from ordinary students, on the theory that the gifted students naturally helped the slower students by advice and example.

This is just insane, of course the more intelligent have advantages, but they dont have to worry about any of that, apparently
Op-ed: Intelligence is an example of 'cognitive privilege' - The College Fix
One’s intelligence isn’t something that’s earned. Instead, it’s received at birth and is a form of privilege.
That’s essentially the argument a University of Iowa columnist makes in a recent op-ed published in The Daily Iowan. In his student newspaper column, Dan Williams argues that understanding the concept of privilege is crucial to furthering social justice.
He writes “it is undeniable that privilege itself is a reality.”
“Any of us could have been born the unluckiest person on the planet, which, by definition, picks out precisely one person. But we all have the privilege of not being that person. We are all privileged by comparison,” Williams says.
He adds privilege extends well past the popular concept of “white privilege” and even encompasses the intelligence an individual possesses.
It would be nice if any of you had actually read the fucking article.
It's from a college newspaper, by the way.
They can functionally split single cells now?Don't be asking me to give up part of my brain for the benefit of someone less fortunate...
