Gifted classes are not just for the gifted anymore

Recently, Lincoln Middle School changed its gifted honors program. Previously, gifted students were put in classes with other high achieving honors students. No longer. Now the gifted students will be grouped with students of mixed abilities. As we all know, teachers teach to the advanced students in the class leaving the less advanced in the background and don't slow the curriculum down so that the slowest students can keep up.

No point in expecting students to strive to make it into the honors program, we'll just change it so everyone can get in. We'll just lower another bar so nobody's feelings get hurt. Politically correct liberalism at its best.
