While teachers teachers may recognise the necessity of providing challenging educational activities for bright students, the many pressing demands of the classroom make the management of such activities difficult. As the same time, concerns about accountability and the mastery of basic skills make teachers understandably hesitant to allow even the most able students to omit normally required material.
