[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The qualities of gifted and talented are by definition are present at birth and are equally distributed across race and socio-economic factors.[/b]

If your program actually selects for environments factors that favour middle class and predominantly white kids then you don’t fit the title and deserve to be abolished.

When these programs select low income Black, Hispanic and any kid with EFL at the proportion that they are present in the community then I will take them seriously. [/quote]
I know you really want to believe this but it isn't true.  REEEEEEEEE out all you want but the the data shows otherwise.[/quote]

[b]I said equal at birth[/b] not in early childhood when, yes there is disparity. The answer is greater post natal care for the parents to encourage them the sing the alphabet song, teach lullabies and nursery rhymes etc , the things that middle class parents do that creates that gap. Invest in the social safety net so these families have the means they need to provide a stable and nurturing environment.[/quote]

Except this is not true. IQ, like many other things, is highly heritable. [/quote]
