[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most accelerated kids are garden-variety bright, not gifted. [/quote] Is this ever true. I was recently invited in to a fb parents group for "gifted" kids and it is mostly filled with questions from parents with es aged students trying to figure out how to get into the accelerated programs. [/quote] In America, most success is from grit, not high IQ. So I'm not sure why you think this is a controversial or an especially keen insight. [b]American k-12 education is a joke[/b], anyone with SOME motivation can ace all their high school classes. Over 50% of American high school seniors have an A average. All A's and a decent ACT/SAT score gets you into UMD/UVA. Grind a little harder and you're in top 20 private territory.[/quote] Statistics are not your strong suit, I see.[/quote]
