Public School Administrators Worship the god of Diversity, Throw Gifted Kids Under the Bus
I mentioned this personal experience in a past post. One day my high school biology teacher talked to me after class and told me that I didn't have to attend class anymore. He explained that if he taught to my level, he would lose the rest of the class. He knew I could find a more productive use of my time than sitting in a class where I would pick up little beyond what I already knew.
In this case, a New Yoek principal has deemed a gifted young kids' program insufficiently "diverse" and hence is canceling future enrollments. How does our economy improve if we do not invest in our best and brightest?
