- Incomplete and inconsistent state education policies handcuff the potential of America's gifted students, leading to a loss of human capital and widening excellence gaps across the country. State leaders owe it to students to create comprehensive policies that provide advanced learners across all backgrounds with the quality education they deserve. A promising new roadmap to has the potential to ensure all students, including advanced learners, have ample opportunities to develop their talents and maximize their learning.

Parents should be allowed to choose the child’s school whether public or private.
Agree to disagree here. These individual learner programs have been a disaster (in our school district at least). Sounds great on paper but our experience has been with a district that poorly executes their IEP programs. The best case is exclusionary, worst case is ever-spiraling administrative bloat, with no real, observable improvement in beneficial outcomes for the student. I think there is probably a good case to be made for limited, merit based advancement, but it would be great to see a more nuanced evaluation of impact to outcomes (NOT test scores data) and increase in admin costs/property tax rate relative to said improvement.
Flexible grouping was used in the top performing magnet school in our district to great effect. Despite the outperformance of kids going through that program, it was attacked and subverted in the name of equity.
Agreed, if the state and federal governments are going to have a role in education, at least.
Sounds good in principle but the situation on the ground needs a new video.
Who decides what constitutes "gifted"? I'm concerned that identifying some as intellectually gifted might neglect some with other giftings. We need more parental choice in education; more types of schools, less centrally planned and controlled education. Get the government out of it.
Equity ignores gifted students.
Better let the parents of talented kids hire specialist educators (like a dietician) or have a pool of paid parents, contributors & donors to privately-fund programs of the talented than allow the public administration oversee this. Public is average, private is specific. It may be old, but The Republic isn't a bad idea. Be well.
The state should have nothing to do with children's education.
