[quote=Anonymous]The article is not what I was expecting from the title of this thread. I was labelled "gifted" and placed in 'special' classes for gifted students in the area (not in the US) for middle and high school. I don't think it made a lot of difference, to be honest. If anything, it made me believe I didn't need to work hard at anything. Looking back at my class and where they are now, there's very little difference between us and the others at the school. Some did exceptionally well, some fell by the wayside. I've come to believe that intelligence changes quite a bit over time, and that effort and motivation are far more important. But race issues ... well, that's disturbing. [/quote]
