The seminar program (At least it is so in San Diego) is created to insure a fair education to smart kids. According to the dept. of education, the seminar kids are special-ed. They get special ed monies. Why? Because just as a slow learning child would feel uncomfortable in a regular class room setting so would a smart child in a normal boring setting. In my opinion, this is more than fair. I see special-ed students, in which thousands of dollars is spent on each year. The district buys them laptops, instructors, tutors and more. The seminar kids recieve about (I believe this is the figure-if not less) $100 extra money to be spent on seminar classes. The Intelligent sector of this society needs to recieve attention. True, IQ tests are not necessary valid ways of testing smartness in a person but they are one way. After all, who are we to say who is smart :-< . But The same IQ test is used to prove that people are mentally handicapped and thus require extra attention. It is only fair for it to be used in this case as well. -- INTERNET: forcer@netlink.cts.com (Nicholas Rahaghi) UUCP: ...!ryptyde!netlink!forcer NetLink Online Communications * Public Access in San Diego, CA (619) 453-1115
