I can't see how you can call yourself gifted -- unless you mean gifted in the ways of losing money and making bad management decisions.Leonie Haimsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317355552298136811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-8355607685599465162009-11-21T23:49:49.460-05:002009-11-21T23:49:49.460-05:00Ms. Haimson,

Did it ever occur to you that the NY Times editorial focus on the gifted is simply a function of the fact that our editors, writers and the vast majority of our readership is gifted and therefore we naturally take a keen interest in people like ourselves? If you are not gifted or are but want to read about the rest of the school system, there are plenty of media options to address your needs.<br /><br />Arthur O. SulzbergerArthur O.

Charters for some neighborhoods - G&T for others. I don't think they really intend them to mix. Ever.<br /><br />JonathanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
