[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I had working class parents, my husband had working class parents, we were both gifted children, we went on to good colleges, got grad degrees, got good jobs in DC, and are now upper SES--the wealth flowed from the intelligence, not the other way around. Now we have our own kids and, not surprisingly, they have been identified as gifted. The kids aren't gifted because we have money--we have money and we have gifted kids because we are very smart. It's correlation, not causation. Its not "elitist" to recognize the correlation and assume that a wealthy neighborhood in the DC suburbs is populated with very smart, high-acheiving adults who are likely to have very smart kids. And it certainly doesn't deny that gifted children originate from all kinds of families and circumstances. [/quote] Yes, this.[/quote]
