Wechslers and Whoopsies and Stanford Binet's helped our daughter and many of her friends and her sister too who was in the gifted class. It really is horse **** that we all come with the same ability set. And there is no shame to that truth either.

In the book' "Brave New World" there are alphas and betas and etc. I think that gifted classes are the right thing to do - with a caveat that it COULD? be pushed too far, like human breeding or even too much wealth disparity. To prevent a Brave New World, you need to have a real middle class (now disappearing) without enormous wealth disparity and you need free or affordable college. More people should have a somewhat equal shot at getting in those GIFTED CLASSES.
Where do you go, when you've gone too far? ......I think that was a song?
