My experience for over 30 years in education ranging from kindergarten through adult education in prisons leads me to believe that intelligence doesn't recognize color, gender or creed. What is happening with your modern pedagogical philosophies is a persevering effort to group more students at higher levels and really neglecting the best and the brightest intellects in the classroom. Mediocrity is what you will achieve without respect for our gifted. The Gods are fairer than humans in that they don't bestow high IQ's on the rich anymore than the rest of our population as demonstrated by George W.. Your can't put a VW in a race with a Ferrari so deal with each where he/she is in the real world.
