[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no point period.

I did gifted and talented 30 years ago in elementary school and there is absolutely no point.

There is no point to accelerate math, there is no point to attend afterschool training classes, there is no point for TJ either.

Accelerating math does more harm than good in many cases.  Most folks aren't actually learning the material properly, additionally 1 class of Calculus in high school is plenty.  Skipping more than one math sequence in college is universally panned.

The workplace does not care about AAP or TJ.

Success in life is based on who you know and your work ethic.  Raw intelligence can make things easier and faster sometimes but that's about it. [/quote]

It comes down to who you know basically and for kids with parents who do not know anybody who can help with connections etc., TJ does make a great dal of difference due to virtually all classmates/friends going on to become scientists, engineers, doctors, lawyers and professors etc. Most Asians would fall into this category of lacking social capital.[/quote]
