how this will not create more divide in already divided society ? Counter argument could be made that everyone starts at level zero and their environment/condition make them learn slow or fast. Just telling your kids that they are gifted won't make them gifted. I know hundred of cases where parents told their child since early childhood that they are special, they are gifted but eventually child failed, fall behind even behind those considered "slow" All people commenting here that "they are gifted" should really take second look. Solving a math equation fast doesn't make you gifted. Life is far far complex than classroom maths. So STFU and have beer. Its friday !
