Are we failing our geniuses?

Time magazine article that indicates the drawbacks of American system of education for gifted children (click on a link for a full article):

"We take for granted that those with IQs at least three standard
deviations below the mean (those who score 55 or lower on IQ tests)
require "special" education. But students with IQs that are at least
three standard deviations above the mean (145 or higher) often have
just as much trouble interacting with average kids and learning at an
average pace. Shouldn't we do something special for them as well?"

"Which all suggests we may be squandering a national resource: our best young minds."

"What's needed is a new model for gifted education, an urgent sense that
prodigious intellectual talents are a threatened resource. That's the
idea behind the Davidson Academy of Nevada, in Reno…"

"ULTIMATELY THE ACADEMY'S MOST important gift to its students is social,
not academic. One of the main reasons Jan and Bob Davidson founded the
school was to provide a nurturing social setting for the highly gifted.
"

"…Has the drive to ensure equity over excellence gone too far? If so, is the answer to segregate the brightest kids?"

"Giftedness requires social context that enables it." Like a muscle, raw intelligence can't build if it's not exercised."

"Einstein's experience does suggest a middle course between moving to
Reno for an élite new school and striking out alone at age 15"
