[quote=Anonymous]Lol, why do you care? The truth is nuanced just like education. I read an article that mentioned university presidents rated a program at Harvard as the best in the world. Problem being, Harvard didn't have that program. You want the truth? That gifted kid with all the advantages money can buy who is going to a top 50 public and is in the top of his class, is going to run circles around 90 percent of the elite students. Why? Because he is just as smart and as driven. In fact a study of gifted children followed for 35 years to assess their eventual success found that innate talents, early opportunities, and preferences the students held for topics in high school were the most important factors in determining life long outcomes.
