[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The qualities of gifted and talented are by definition are present at birth and are equally distributed across race and socio-economic factors.[/b] If your program actually selects for environments factors that favour middle class and predominantly white kids then you don’t fit the title and deserve to be abolished. When these programs select low income Black, Hispanic and any kid with EFL at the proportion that they are present in the community then I will take them seriously. [/quote] This is a nice sentiment, but it's belied by the evidence. It's common wisdom in the social sciences that IQ or "g" (general intelligence) is highly correlated with maternal education level.
