[geeks] New Tech Schools: Digital Harbor in Baltimore

" The needs of that $300K student should be funded by the state, not
" the local tax payers directly.

it certainly is unfair, dropping this bomb on the town after the
budget is settled.

what happens to the town they left, with a sudden $300k windfall?

" I think the issue there is that someone failed to give the parents an
" honest assessment of the child's abilities and prospects early on -
" not wanting to upset the parents at a difficult time.

it can also be parents who are unwilling to accept an honest
assessment.

" The child should be offered whatever they can handle, up to the point
" they absorb no more, and then let them get on with their lives...

that pretty much applies to every and any child, including the very
bright.
