Not sure I agree with the idea that kids who show higher degrees of potential should get most of the encouragement and resources. When I was in school, the more "gifted" kids got all the attention of the teachers, administrators and faculty, while the rest of us struggled to keep our grades above 50%. While most of the "gifted" kids moved on to become business leaders and wealthy executives, people like me have languished in minimum wage retail jobs, warehouse work and seasonal labour. I believe EVERYONE has potential, and the education system should focus on all students equally, not just the "special" ones......
