[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Graduated back in the day before GT classes. Valedictorian of my high school class was probably GT. He is a leading AIDS researcher. He did it without being in GT classes. Who knew?[/quote] Good that he was able to do that in spite of not having G&T supports - but G&T probably could have gotten him jumpstarted and even farther along if he did have those supports. I'd wager he probably came from a good environment to help provide supports where the school system failed to provide them. Look, it's not as though G&T students are not going to be bright if they don't get G&T support - but G&T support can help guide, direct and mentor them and open them up to new ideas and opportunities to help more fully develop and maximize their potential. There's probably also kids from the ghetto with high IQ who never end up amounting to much because they never had any help, and that's a shame and a waste.[/quote]
