2) It Sounds Like... by Anonymous Citizen on April 27, 2006
you want them to be part of the "evil rich" that create all the jobs, pay most of the tax bill and invent stuff that makes all our lives easier. How dare you. Socialism is about dragging everyone down to the lowest common denominator, you should know this by now. If all the kids got smart, who would vote for the democrats?

3) Funding?? by Anonymous Citizen on April 27, 2006
Funding for gifted education in Michigan has been cut 90% in the past 4 years, sacrificed on the altar of general education. Dual enrollment helps, but the students still have to exhaust local options first. Since we're not supplying anything for gifted students in HS, why not let them move on to college? These kids are going to be creating jobs. Let's help them succeed.
