As a child growing up in the 90s that would have a lot of labels people really sanctify today, gifted education and that kind of accelerated learning opportunity was the #1 most life changing part of my life. It single handedly taught me how to lift myself out of a cycle of poverty when there was nothing else: I didn't have the innate personality for it, I had barely any family, my family had no connections, I had barely any friends. Anybody who opposes identifying gifted students and helping them succeed is actively blocking one of the few resources that can truly help underprivileged children build a future for themselves.
