Seems to me that this retrospective analysis of this particular cohort (which has to be Terman data because there is pretty much nothing else like it) is inherently flawed by correlation fallacy and a major blind spot; neither then nor now is ""education"" (by which I mean most of the formal, institutional variety) appropriate for the cohort in the Terman study.
As long as PG children are educated as though they were NT, ""education"" is going to be actively harmful for a fair number of them.
Duh. Formal education is regarded very much as a necessary EVIL in our own household. Anecdote, yes-- but I see nothing in Terman's conclusions which fails to support my own hypothesis there.
Dodgeball notwithstanding, of course.
