Oh, and as for glamour...prestige and bragging rights, I have to say that DD13 is what *I* at least would call "optimally gifted". She made the GT cut, and has the advantages of that, yet is NOT the top dog in there by any stretch. She works at her school work pretty heartily, yet pulls straight A's with relative ease. Her SAT scores are impressive to the non-talent search gang, and "respectable" within that crowd, even if she doesn't get awards. If I had three like her, my job would be easy....even if I'd rarely have that "glamour",
