Advocating for the "Young, Gifted, and Neglected"

While gathering information for the November 5 district Gifted Committee meeting on the subject of gifted and talented education at the middle school level, we found this recent article on gifted and talented education in The New York Times. This op-ed piece is written by Chester E. Finn, Jr., co-author of a book about exam high schools--schools like our own Illinois Science and Math Academy (IMSA). In his article, “Young, Gifted, and Neglected,” Mr. Finn advocates for more educational opportunities for our nation's gifted and talented students.
