ARE THEY DIFFERENT?

Ysterday there was Buzz about a new school for children having IQ greater than 160 only. The school boasts of individualistic approach of teaching every student. The News item was Titled-
Refuge For Intelligent People.

The intelligent people are different than the rest, but the act of segregating them is injustice to both-The Student and The System.

The System will be affected by the loss of intelligentsia, thus the normal students will lose the healthy competition they had.

I would place a metaphor here : the brain does all the work in the body, so should the brain be removed from it? The answer is NO. Because the brain although highly developed than any other organ DERIVES ITS NUTRITION FROM THE BODY. Similarly the intelligent people are different but segregating them is not a tangible solution as they are also nothing but a part of society.

The Segregated students will be made to believe that they are great and the others are not up to their par in any aspect of life. Taking them out of the system is undermining the values of equality.

In the end the intelligent people have to co-exist with other people in the society. Thus they should be provided with the means to develop and utilise their talent to the fullest.
