It’s easy enough to believe.  It doesn’t even start until they are teens.  I wouldn’t be surprised if they whisked ten year olds away to secret locations removing the ones who couldn’t handle the pressure and they go home as failures as children.  [/quote]

+1. Young children are identified by a rubric around the age of 5 or 6, separated from their families, then groomed to be super nerds. They do this with their athletic system, why not academics? Gifted programs have never had anything to do with US economic and military hegemony.[/quote]
They are not "separated from their families" at 5 or 6. Maybe some rural families send their kids to study in the city, but that's not the usual route.[/quote]

The old Soviet Union had scouts searching the whole country for talent under age 9.   There were state gyms and they found talented 6 year old for their gymnastics program and maybe a little older with ballet.   They would bring them to an elite training full time program.  And they were truly elite, not just throwing the word around for marketing purposes.   [/quote]The above comment is talking about Chinese academics, not soviet athletics [/quote]
