being a gifted kid DOES mean you have access to a better education actually and it’s also highly racialized phenomenon; in my elementary school the g&t classes were like 80% while and the regular classes were almost entirely latino kids. it’s basically a de facto school segregation strategy at least in ny

Black and Latino students are less likely to get recommended for G&T even when they are qualified and are also less likely to be recognized for their talents and face cultural barriers for the narrow ways intelligence is interpreted.
