The article shines bright light on the need for service guided and provided by gifted education specialists who recognize the need for academic and social-emotional support.

I would love to hear from other gifted educators in rural districts.  I think
low-income students in rural areas have limited opportunities & few mentors,
particularly at the elementary/middle school levels where the foundation is
laid.  PSEO, dual-enrollment, & now CC+ create options for high school kids, but
we could have an increase in those participation numbers, if more was done in
the earlier grades...starting in pre-school/kindergarten.

"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

B- is the highest grade
in the country. I'm proud of our work on the report card measures, but we still
have so far to go in this state, particularly with minority and economically
disadvantaged students. We are measuring, but we aren't holding districts nearly
accountable enough.

Ann,

Shocked that it is that high or that low?  When one looks at
the criteria to get the grade we look pretty good.  The things we have are due
do the constant effort of OAGC under your leadership.  Still a B- is sad and we 
have so many students who need support.  I do worry most for students in
poverty.  Even if they show early promise we let them down.
