I think I was one of the ones that fell through the cracks. I remember getting called to the principal or counselors offices a lot because my state testing would be 98-99 percentile and my grades were Bs and Cs. I would get As on my tests and never did my homework. I asked to drop out of school in first grade. 8)
When I would get put into advanced classes I would get kicked out for not doing the work. Copying pages of definitions was not my idea of fun when I could just read them and remember them.
I loved college and had a 3.98 GPA overall. I am a SAHM now. I still don't know if my major was really what I should be doing. I think one of the worst 'perks' to being gifted is you are good at most everything you try so it is hard to find your passion.
