Gifted education programs have left out students from marginalized backgrounds, but not for any educationally sound reason. More often, they get left out because spots in these programs are limited, and families with resources are able to fight to secure those spots for their kids, Rafael Heller explains. As the authors in this issue of Kappan suggest, it would be far better to expand the opportunities available.

资优教育计划已将来自边缘化背景的学生拒之门外，但并非出于任何有教育意义的原因。拉斐尔·海勒（Rafael Heller）解释说，由于这些计划中的名额有限，而且资源丰富的家庭能够为孩子争取到这些名额，因此他们常常被遗弃。正如本期《 Kappan》的作者所建议的那样，扩大可用机会要好得多。
