I read this article as "My children are gifted and the government should fund/educate them and forget about all other kids." From the article:
>America ranked 31st of the 56 countries that participated in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) study, which assesses the academic skills and knowledge of 15-year-olds. So how exactly is nurturing genius kids going to help that?
Shouldn't education for everyone be the goal? >First of all, we need to train teachers to spot giftedness.... How about training the teachers to teach? There seems to be a lack of good education in the US, at least for people who are poor. |

No, the article notes that people don't spend much money on gifted kids.
So how exactly is nurturing genius kids going to help that? Shouldn't education for everyone be the goal?
Scores isn't everything. If your scores is in the last place but you have silicon valley and lot of genius or talents cultivated by your school system, who cares? Moreover, cultivating genius isn't mutually exclusive to ensuring everyone get a shot at a good education.
How about training the teachers to teach? There seems to be a lack of good education in the US, at least for people who are poor.
How about don't make the teacher spend time every year doing the same god damn live-lecture every year? Just record the video, and get all the teachers together to vote for the best one. Record all questions students have. Incorporate it into the next video lecture competition.
