Thanks for the article. There have been similar articles on this for different states. One state I remember is S. Carolina. What I find interesting is it is targeting lower income, high risk groups which I applaud but I have to wonder how much is being done for the gifted community and if this is yet another sign of the times where the logic is they are ahead of the game and don't really need programs like this in place.

That said I do like the quote: "Many bright and talented youngsters are lost along the way. 'We seldom capture the imagination and energy of young people until somewhere well along in the college years,' said Dr. Botstein." It gives me hope.
