No, I didn't read much of the forum before posting. I don't really participate in forums or social networking sites -- I apologize for my poor "netiquette". Not sure what set me off -- but I'm sorry for intruding on your forum...
Truth be told, I'm just a relatively normal person. A late bloomer -- not identified as having any particular academic potential. And yet, through decisions later in life, have reached a place that one might expect to be populated by the "gifted."
And what do I find here? All types of people from all types of backgrounds. What they have in common is that they WANT to be doing what they're doing, are committed to it, work hard, and have a broad range of skills.
By all means, advocate for education that provides an opportunity for everyone to realize their full potential. But beware of idenity politics.
Best of luck,
Buzz out.
