Folks, I doubt anyone actually believes that just attending a gifted program will make everyone equally gifted. The statement that you’ll get “more” gifted students if all the programs run that way is mostly just a clever way to observe that current efforts to identify which students are gifted, are probably missing some kids with untapped potential. In addition there is plenty of evidence that more engaging pedagogy will get more out of students, even those of average potential. The biggest impediment to that is probably finding teachers who are capable of teaching that way consistently across the required range of subjects.
