Public schools are failing the most gifted students
Throuout this column, Cepeda wrote about the hardships that gifted students were going through in public schools because of the lack of attention they were recieving. She wrote about how students who were above average intelligence were scoring worse on tests because they werent challenged and were not motivated to do well in school because their needs for more intense education werent being met. Cepeda also discusses how some districts are viewing gifted student programs and "enrollment pressure" and that they are making the schoool less desirable and that working toward helping gifted students isnt something that is worth the extra funding. She also discusses how since the programs at different public schools are being shut down, the hope for having motivated, above average students is decreasing before it even had a chance to begin.
