My wife teaches high school for problem children and I was at a little get together between some from her school and some from the regular high school. Both her and the teachers of the GT kids (gifted, talented) complained about the way they had to teach under "Every child takes it in the behind".

My wife teaches 5th grade. Her principal won't let the brighter kids be in a class together because the brighter ones "need to be role models for the the other students".

YIKES!!!!!!!

That's the kind of garbage I'm getting from my school district - it's the principal and the teachers that want the brighter kids to be together - the district has forbidden the practice.
