Generally, schools are focusing what few resources they have for gifted education on the moderately academically gifted. These children make up the bulk of current “pull-out” programs: bright students with strong but not extraordinary abilities, who do not face the challenges of precocity and isolation to the same degree as the profoundly gifted. These children—and indeed most children—would be better served if schools instead raised their standards across the board.

Other nations, including Japan and Hungary, set much higher academic expectations for their children than the U.S. does; their children, gifted or not, rise to the challenge by succeeding at higher levels. The needs of moderately gifted children could be met by simply teaching them a more demanding standard curriculum.
