How some of America’s most gifted kids wind up in prison
|
QUARTZ (2014) "Gifted students need specialized instruction to reach their full potential. However, due to a lack of funding, only 56% of high achievers from low-income families remain successful by fifth grade, according to the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation. "Furthermore, high ability students from low-income backgrounds, as compared to their more advantaged peers, are twice as likely to drop out of school. Dropping out triples the likelihood of incarceration later in life." http://qz.com/317309/how-some-of-americas-most-gifted-kids-wind-up-in-prison/ |
