I'll agree with a fair portion of that, however I don't think that we should be diverting funds from Financial Aid to give GATE students more expensive toys to play with. I understand that there is a certain amount of sense to give the more intelligent students the ability to further develop their abilities to further our goals, however not at the expense of getting others their college educations.

Especially these days, where most jobs require an Associates minimum. College degrees are pretty much what High School Diplomas were a few decades ago.
