Far better to have bloated GT programs rather than bloated prisons.  There is no downside to the habits of mental, intellectual, and academic prepping.  If there are any issues, it's certainly not related to prepping but rather the goals, mission, and administration of the GT program.  Far better to have a bloat of highly prepared and performing children than a society of poorly performing misfits![/quote]

:D   Because anyone who doesn't prep will most definitely end up a "poorly performing misfit." Those are the only two possibilities in life.

Fortunately, those are not our only two choices. It is perfectly possible to do well in life without test prepping, and I know plenty of people who are proof of that.

I like what I read in another thread:"People can work hard and get good grades, but you can't teach smart."  In other words, all the hard work in the world will get you nowhere if you don't have the intelligence underlying it. You can prep and prep kids, but if they aren't smart, they are limited as to how far they can go in the long run.  If they're smart, they don't need test prepping.
