...helped harvest earlier in the day. As mothers bagged eggplants the color of a deep bruise and the size of Popeye's forearms, the talk was not of peak oil and alternative fuels but of kids and the fast-approaching fall term at the public school most EVI kids attend--just the kinds of unremarkable things you'd discuss in any unremarkable community...

The country's preeminent poets and directors sat alongside government officials and their chador-clad...
...distrubed the the implication that the needs of the highly gifted can be met by merely moving them up three grades. A 9-year-old, for example, might very well attend middle school. Bright kids have social and emotional as well as intellectual needs, and such a plan would be far too easy an out by school districts. Denver schools have classes for the highly gifted that are led by educators who have been trained to address students' specific social, emotional and intellectual needs. One needn't go to the Davidson Academy of Nevada...
