Not to mention gifted children that take coasting through school for granted because they can easily intuit the subjects there, only to run up against a wall later when much of life isn’t quite so intuitive and much of university topics requires far more rigorous practice and study than we’re used to, and suddenly we have to catch up on learning to study systematically.

I suspect much of that could be remedied by appropriately guiding and challenging “gifted” children to teach them those essential skills, but even though my school prided itself on being one of the first with such a “gifted children track”, we didn’t actually do much different than the rest, and it sucked ass because we got all the overconfidence and none of the actual assistance.
