Public Schools Admit That They Didn’t Push Gifted Programs Because They Didn’t Want To Promote Eliti
And that’s socialism for you. Nobody can have any more than anyone else, and so everyone gets dragged down to the lowest common denominator.
As many as three-quarters of state schools are failing to push their brightest pupils because teachers are reluctant to promote ‘elitism’, an Ofsted study says today.
Many teachers are not convinced of the importance of providing more challenging tasks for their gifted and talented pupils.
Bright youngsters told inspectors they were forced to ask for harder work. Others were resentful at being dragooned into ‘mentoring’ weaker pupils.
Put another way, there was a tax on smart students and they were forced to redistribute their intelligence to less intelligent students. They were held back out of a sense of equality.
Now ask yourself, is that fair? Is it fair to hold back our brightest and most accomplished students in order to promote equality for other students? And if you don’t think that’s fair, then ask yourself if it’s fair to hold back our most productive and successful citizens in general with exorbitant taxes and wealth redistribution schemes in order to create equality with others.
