NJ pays $25,000 or more per student with learning disabilities to attend special schools. Is there any logical reason on earth not to allow children with special gifts to attend schools where their educational needs are met?

Makes no sense at all.

I remember we used to have a program called Master Workshop. This was special ed for the highly gifted. Now it's the reverse. So, WHO do we want running the country in 40 years?

To adapt a historical motto to this situation, "Millions for Special Needs; Not one cent for Special Gifts!"

It is considered "democratic" to try to spend the "differently enabled" UP to normal; therefore, it is equally imperative to miser the "super-enabled" DOWN to normal, under the 'equal outcomes' doctrines inherent in the current educrat system.
