I wasn't the one who said that they shouldn't have gifted services.

I'm the one who said that college is high school and that gifted education is now college prep. It was more of a statement of what I perceive as the current reality.

With me, it's probably mostly having sisters and a father with about that I.Q. I don't even bother trying to have a meaningful conversation because it's never going to go anywhere. They are not the sharpest tools in the shed.

My co-workers are much lower than that. I try not to talk to them at all.

I'm also used to thinking of "gifted" starting at an I.Q. of 135, but that's more of an 80's thing, so my reaction to a 121 is "whoa....that's unexpectedly low for an elite education."
