On: Many gifted children fail academically

[toodifficult]

I see you attended UIC. Did UIUC reject you, or did you choose not to go there? My experience at the U of I was quite different from your description of the academic world. Sure, most students -- even those in the College of Engineering -- were quite bad, but every single professor in the CS department I met was nothing short of stellar.

Yeah, I chose not to go there. I probably would have liked it a lot better.

Does UIUC have much higher tuition or something? It's a much, much better school.
