Or am I reading what you wrote incorrectly?


Most gifted kids come from Middle and Lower Class homes. Most of the IDENTIFIED gifted kids come from upper and upper middle class homes.

That leaves 80% or more of gifted kids hiding under the cracks.

I'll bet 95%+ of minority gifted kids will NEVER get the education they deserve.
