Cardinal @Saaci8Replying to @DanielleFong @elizashapiroMany of the msot wealthy neighbrhoods with the best education systems, teachers, etc. don't have a G&T. You can basically only access the program at age 4, then you're locked out, and in many cases it's the same amterial, just in a far less diverse classroom.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likesShow this thread -

I might just be being contrary here, but this is stuff off the top of my head. It's probably(?) right, but I could also be completely wrong and you can probably do your own research on what the G&T actually entails and come to a far better conclusion

I skimmed a few articles and they're planning on just giving the G&T curriculum (which isn't all that different from a normal curriculum) to everyone now. It really is a good idea to read up before you buy into the outrage lol. Truly no offense intended but your main tweet

maybe. i think what it probably breaks up is the cliques of smart kids in a group, it may be more diffuse, it may not be possible to provide the teaching experience exactly, but it’s still ok, maybe, depending on other options. as the original writer puts it, worth being wonkish
