"I will spend no time on the argument that special treatment of the academically gifted is elitist.  It has no moral standing.  A special ability is a child's most precious asset.  When it comes to athletic and musical ability, no one considers withholding training that could realize those gifts.  It is just as senseless, and as ethically warped, to withhold training that can realize academic ability."     Charles Murray, REAL EDUCATION, p.146

“Athletics are performed publicly. Good academics are a secret.’’
 Will Fitzhugh, Founder, The Concord Review (1987)

"Parents and schools must provide children with equal opportunity, not equal treatment."      David A. Sousa
