[quote=Anonymous] At the university level there is such a wide range of ages. Local papers love having stories of elderly graduates. I think that there is a danger that we brush off kids too soon. The writer of War Horse failed his 11+ so was denied entrance to Grammar school. Obviously they missed his huge abilities. I say, make sure that gifted and talented programs have rolling admissions. If an essay is required for admission but a kid hasn’t mastered grammar or essay structure yet but has the inherent brain power, teach them the fundamentals then test them at the necessary level.[/quote]
