What are the arguments against gifted and talented education?
I am writing a pros and cons paper on gifted education for my writing class and I am having a hard time finding information against gifted and talented education. The one argument I have seen is that it takes funding away from other programs but I just can't find any info to back it up. I would appreciate any help! Thanks!
Try google scholar for academic research papers, there has been a lot of research done into gats education!

I did a paper on this topic last year at uni, and something I found was that many studies found little or no academic advantage to these students to being put into a separate class.
When gifted and talented students are in a mixed ability class, they are able to help other students (peer teaching) which is of advantage to all students (there is heaps of research on this too!)
Hope this helps!
