It&#x27;s an interesting idea and I agree with the argument.<p>Having been one of those &#x27;gifted children&#x27; and gone to gifted schools where I wasn&#x27;t challenged, I think this is a good idea.<p>I basically never had to put any effort in until my last year of high school and completely breezed through my education. Once I hit university and couldn&#x27;t get away with that anymore, I was totally unequipped to handle continuing my education or holding a job that matched my capabilities. I hit a wall of failure pretty hard.<p>It probably took me another 7 years after that to get my life together where I had the habits to try and achieve things through consistent effort.<p>And yeah, all of the depression, anxiety and substances abuse that you would expect happened too.
