[quote=flu]I’ll take a kid that isn’t truely gifted with strong work ethics + parent involvement versus a truely gifted kid that otherwise is lazy. I’ve seen my fair share of peers that were “gifted” that wasted their early part of their life away.

flu, good point.
Dingeman elementary school in Scripps has a GATE Cluster Diversity program in which they mix the GATE student with the rest of the students in the classrooms (at least 25% of the students are GATE students).
I’m wondering if Dingeman does this so that:
– GATE students are less likely to think that they are “special”.
– GATE students learn work/study with the other students & still have their needs addressed by GATE-trained teachers.
