ABILITY vs ACHIEVEMENT
Now, for just a moment ask yourself this. What if you had his coach? Would you have Olympic gold medals? Maybe, but if you didn't have his capacity or his unique abilities a coach would not be needed. You would never be an Olympic swimmer. We can apply this to some of the high achieving students that are in our schools who do not qualify for gifted services. They do not demonstrate a specific need for the specialized programming.
