NJ pays $25,000 or more per student with learning disabilities to attend special schools. 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.

We considered enrichment of our children's education our responsibility. We did our best to be sure they were challenged, and were able to work to their abilities.
For the most part, their schools did not meet their needs so we made sure we did.
Often that enrichment did not involve spending sums of money.......and as an aside, we did not have a computer back then.
