Yes, sorry Ipad was going mental and typing the same character (including backspance) way more times than its key was struck.

But yes - in China and Korea children are expected to perform at a mildly to fantastically gifted level. Those that lack that innate ability mey face a life of a life of shame and this pressure on kids can be their undoing.

I do not believe that those not gifted should be made to feel inferior and there should be no shame in not being in the top track if the ability just isn't there.

Tracking by ability, frankly, is the fairest system but unfortunately it will never happen because of the politics that obscure the science around IQ.
