Date: January 29th, 2026 12:12 PM Author: Yummy Phase Pol Pot Craziest part about a decision like this is that it is made entirely because we don't have an exact proportionate distribution of races and ethnicities across these programs (and other upper strata segments of society.)
So libs would rather punish smart kids from all backgrounds, including the races and ethnicities they purport to help, because seeing too many white and asian kids in gifted programs relative to brown and black kids makes them mad at reality.
I am starting to think that the actual solution to this is to just forego school altogether. Like what is the actual point. If you have a smart kid but don't have the funds to go private, your kid will now be saddled with 85 IQ troublemakers in their classes that disrupt everything and force every kid to move at a slower pace.
But again, what is even the point. Oh wow my kid goes to school so he can graduate one day and go to a good college and then get a good job to send his kid to school so he can graduate and go to a good college...and on and on and on. All to effectively secure a spot in the professional world where you look at screens all day. |

Date: January 29th, 2026 12:21 PM Author: Guy Debord Your hope, with kids, is that their fate will be better than yours. There might not be a lot of support for that hope, but that is the nature of hope. In short it is basic instinct of a parent.

Date: January 29th, 2026 12:24 PM Author: Yummy Phase Pol Pot I know and was being somewhat facetious to point out how dumb it is to basically punish smart kids from poor or normal families.
Best bet for people is to just leave NYC. Though this should have been done several years ago. |

i don't think this is the end of the world. a lot of countries focus on play rather than academic learning until age 7 or so. i do think you can bore extremely gifted (top 0.01%) kids this way but perhaps they can skip K or 1st grade if they need to. |

Date: January 29th, 2026 12:26 PM Author: .....;;,,.........;.;.;.;.,;,;,;.;.;,; It does reallocate the resources away from PMC striver (and Asian generally) children who have parents that push them in preschool, so they come into KG reading on a 3rd grade level. But the result is likely to be even more Asians (who will just keep going hard and have their poor children doing calculus in the summer between 2nd and 3rd grade).

Date: January 29th, 2026 12:34 PM Author: ,..,,,,,,....,,,..., Gifted kindergarten is pretty retarded. Even districts with $$$$ don’t always offer it because all 5-year-olds need to learn some basic shit, it’s hard to accurately test kids at this age, and you can always give bigger books to the ones who learn to read first.

Date: January 29th, 2026 12:37 PM Author: Ass Sunstein Again, "gifted" in NYC is just a way for whites and Asians to avoid niggaz and avoid having to pay $60k/yr for private or move to the suburbs, by getting a reasonable score on some standardized test. It's not some selection of super geniuses here. If they get rid of it, they lose a subset of the people who pay actual taxes.

Date: January 29th, 2026 12:46 PM Author: Ass Sunstein They absolutely will (and often already do) - it's the whole reason these gifted programs were put in in the first place, to try to retain people who were moving to the suburbs for kindergarten.
Superstudying at home doesn't do anything to change the demographics of your kid's class. |

Date: January 29th, 2026 12:51 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad (Death, death to the IDF!) yeah when homes cost $50k. multitude of considerations when moving--jobs, affordability, community. sure edge cases might move, others will either suck it up, superstudy, or do private for K-2 and then transition. also, while people are inherently prejudiced not everyone is as racist as you.

Date: January 29th, 2026 12:47 PM Author: dogbalon tp disagree. small kids are too flighty. the predictive power of tests at that age is notably limited with respect to adolescent/adult iq. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5828336&forum_id=2#49630333) |

Date: January 29th, 2026 12:50 PM Author: ladders Early School (6–9 yrs): High Stability & Predictability
This is the "sweet spot" for initial reliable testing. By age 7, correlations with adult IQ jump significantly ($r = 0.70$ or higher).
The "Stability" vs. "Change" Paradox It is important to distinguish between absolute and relative scores:
Relative IQ: This is your rank compared to peers. If you are in the 90th percentile at age 11, you will very likely be in the 90th percentile at age 80. This is what we mean when we say IQ is "stable." |
