"They want the kids to have a life."<BR/><BR/>Wow! When will Wawasee wake up to the fact that more work does not necessarily mean more quality education?<BR/><BR/>Also, why just narrow this experience to gifted kids? Why not take this approach with ALL kids? We already track and narrow the education spectrum. Why not participate in more hands-on, multi-sensory and meaningful experiences for learning? What about encouraging all students through hetereogenous and cooperative learning groups? What about differentiated instruction?<BR/><BR/>The bottome line: Quantity of work doesn't mean quality and a narrow focus of curriculum does not meet all students needs. Great article!
