Ideally, education would be tailored for each student. But that's wildly expensive (and I'm unconvinced that private schools do that either).

(For myself, back in the Cretaceous period, my "GATE" program consisted being allowed to skip some classes and do what I wanted in the library. This worked fine for me (and I had access to a very good regional library despite being in a small country school); but for my daughter it was terrible, as I found out almost too late. And the "resources" expended on a single GATE student are typically a fraction of those expended on a "special needs" student, even though gifted students also have special needs)
