Guest host: Sam Litzinger

They are the high-ability kids, scoring in the top percentiles of IQ tests-- the so-called "gifted children." But are dwindling funds and a lack of resources sabotaging what schools can offer them? We talk about the status of gifted and talented programs in our region.

Audio archives, transcripts and CDs will be available approximately 15 minutes after the program ends.
