Nonsense. 'All children are gifted' is akin to claiming all children have athletic skills. Kids are different with vastly different levels of ability. I believe it is being pushed mainly to keep the pipeline to colleges filled with applicants, whether or not they are qualified.All children are NOT gifted. Sorry Mom and Dad but the majority of kids are average, and capable of achievement only if they apply themselves. That's just the way it is, but for some reason over the Left pushes this nonsense that all children are gifted, and it is up to the teachers to unlock their gifts. And if they don't I suppose it's the failure of the teacher, the school, the government or Donald Trump or Russia or who knows. Anything but admitting your kid is just part of that wide swath of average intelligence and limited talent. The problem is if you do not face that reality, you are setting your child up for colossal failure in adult life. The earlier you recognize your kid is not the next Elon Musk the earlier you can put him or her on a different track where they can be successful.
Average kids are the result of below average parents holding them back with just this type of loser thinking.
The entire college system is a racket designed to keep funneling people and vast amounts of money into a corrupt system which makes a few very rich and powerful and turns out a continuous supply of good little drones who'll spend half their lives now trying to get out of the debt they're in, intent that if they had to go broke to get a job, they sure as heck ain't going to allow another, more talented person, better educated outside the formal system from getting a job without "paying" into the system as well.
