The whole idea of gifted and talented kindergarteners is pretty ridiculous. At that age, no matter how "gifted," it's all about socializing anyway. Academics don't become an issue much before third grade. [ Reply | More

It's about segregation! It's about not socializing with the "riff-raff". Gifted and Talented in early childhood should be abolished! Then schools would improve when all children are integrated into the same classrooms! [ Reply | More

doubt it. The middle and upper middle class will not send their dc to a failing school. They will either move or go private in NYC. The g&t program gets (and their time and money) in the system and tries to turn around schools one at a time and it works. PS6, PS116 - PS11 soon to be added to the list. [ Reply | More
