Hi Im in a gifted program in my middle school. Parents have to apply for their kids to get in and a lot of kids dont make it and wind up in the regular education program. Here's an example. One of my girl buddies is in regular ed life science with the same teacher that I have biology (note the name difference). For us we get to do experiments, the teacher shows us how math works into science, and we have a harder book. For her, they only get to do a few hands on things and watch a lot of videos, the book is a lot easier, and the teacher doesnt do math. I asked her to ask the teacher why he doesnt show them math like in the gifted classes. She told him how she knew and she said she knows me. The teacher gave her a knowing look and said he cant cover the math in science because it would slow the class down too much and he wouldnt be able to cover all the material. I think its wrong to put one group of kids at a disadvantage while giving another a better education.
