> I guess the difference is on how we define "talented"

Yes, and how we define "bad genes". I'm someone that you definitely wouldn't consider "talented" (since I've never worked at Google etc) and probably have "bad genes", what should be done with people like me?




* Train you to the best of your ability

* giving you a no-shame route up and down so that you can choose your own level of challenge, which entails

* giving you opportunities to try the more gifted programs to see if you'd do well and enjoy them

and also

* giving you the opportunity to choose a less demanding program in which you can find and adequate level of challenge (if you need to)

BUT

* treating disruptive behaviour as a choice to go to a less demanding program
