Most public school districts in America spend north of $20,000 per student per year. That’s $400,000 a year for a classroom of 20 students.

Anyone who thinks money is the limiting factor in education is either delusional or is receiving a chunk of that money that never makes it into the classroom.

Countries all over the planet provide superior education to students for a tenth of the cost.

Your right wing friends are correctly but ambiguously stating that if we can’t have a gifted program at these funding levels, there will never be a gifted program at any funding level.
