Pedagogy of Patriarchy: A Window on American 21st Century Gifted Education
Taekhil Jeong
The issue of grouping gifted students by ability has been a point of controversy for a long time. In the fall of 1957, the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik into space, igniting intense debate in this county about the quality of American education. Since then, nurturing the talents of our gifted and talented children has been one of the most enchanting, yet controversial, issues educators have faced. On the one hand, people have admired the gifts and the drive of individuals who achieve excellence and have given priority to programs for educating the brightest students, especially in math and science. On the other hand, people have stigmatized gifted education as “giving to the haves” (Colangelo & Davis, 1997, p. 3). This ambivalent attitude toward giftedness has caused frustration for both educators and parents of students.
