"The most appropriate educational provision for gifted and talented youth is a system of specifically designed classes which provide learning activities at an appropriate pace and level and which emphasize the process skills of critical thinking and research. Unfortunately this type of educational provision is not yet available to most gifted and talented youth. However, one of the more readily available educational alternatives for the intellectually or academically gifted student is grade advancement." 10-02
- Acceleration in School for the Profoundly Gifted (Davidson Institute for Talent Development)
- "Research on acceleration or grade skipping has been found to have almost uniformly positive results...." In particular, "Acceleration is educationally and socially advantageous for highly gifted learners. (Clark, 1997)"
"Accelerated students were more likely to be high achievers in college, to graduate, and to attend graduate school than their age peers. (Brody & Stanley, 1991)"
"Research has found no evidence to support the notion that social or emotional problems arise through well-planned and monitored acceleration programs. (Southern & Jones, 1991)" 10-02

- Are We Failing Our Geniuses? (Time.com)
- "Earlier this year, Patrick Gonzales of the U.S. Department of Education presented a paper showing that the highest-achieving students in six other countries, including Japan, Hungary and Singapore, scored significantly higher in math than their bright U.S. counterparts, who scored about the same as the Estonians. Which all suggests we may be squandering a national resource: our best young minds."
"Squandered potential is always unfortunate, but presumably it is these powerful young minds that, if nourished, could one day cure leukemia or stop global warming or become the next James Joyce--or at least J.K. Rowling."
"In a no-child-left-behind conception of public education, lifting everyone up to a minimum level is more important than allowing students to excel to their limit. It has become more important for schools to identify deficiencies than to cultivate gifts." 08-07

- "In terms of intellectual capacity alone, the child of IQ 190 differs from moderately gifted classmates of IQ 130 to the same degree that the latter differ from intellectually handicapped children of IQ 70. (Gross, 1992)" One of the problems identified within schools is pitting equality against excellence rather than promoting both equity and excellence. 10-02
