Matthew Frost

Matthew Frost (also known as Matthew Archer) is a former teacher turned political commentator and editor. Quotes Perhaps Dr James Gallagher—a scientific authority and activist for disabled and gifted children— put it best in his 1976 book, Teaching the Gifted Child. There he told the story of an American elementary school principal who once made a feather-rustling proposal. Mr Palcuzzi wanted the school to develop a programme for gifted and talented students. There would be ability grouping, acceleration for the most able, and inter-school competitions. The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) protested. However, Palcuzzi didn’t retreat, in fact he upped the request. He wanted to fund purpose-built equipment, extra transportation, and even a special teacher by placing a fee on the entire parent body. Now outraged, the PTA declared Palcuzzi’s proposal elitist, divisive, and anti-democratic. Palcuzzi then delicately explained that the programme was not a new one, but had in fact existed since the school’s inception and was enthusiastically supported by all: he was referring to the varsity football team. How about a Genius Basic Income? A proposal to free our best minds from the tedium of daily life.
