I agree - gifted pupils are often assumed to be fine whatever class or school they end up in. How many times have we heard that? It assumes all gifted kids can teach themselves (and/or others) and that boredom is actually good for the soul. And if they don’t do well then maybe they weren’t gifted.
In my own family, the two most gifted of my siblings simply dropped out of high school. One without any qualifications at all. He was unrecognised 2E so doubly failed.
