[quote=Anonymous][quote]The problem is that we cannot determine with certainty who will be the next Michael Phelps of physics using a standard test in second grade. As oppose to body size and shape that cannot be drastically changed naturally no matter how hard one tries, human brain is quite elastic and does change when properly worked. The idea that only kids with raw talent in early ages need to be in an advanced academic environment is counter productive. [/quote] I agree. Therefore all young athletes and students should be encouraged to prep, train and work hard at their crafts by parents, coaches and teachers. No one knows who the next Bill Gates or Phelps will be in 20 years. I could care less if this prep is for Saturday's mini-meet or the AAP. How relatively low or high the "imaginary bar" is set is immaterial.[/quote]
