Have you thought about talking with people who teach students who fell through the cracks of the high school system? A visit with any community college developmental composition program would be a huge eye-opener for anyone who wonders what happens when high school students graduate without being ready for college-freshman writing. This is a huge challenge for the students and the instructors. Having taught gifted high school students and unprepared college students, I can say with great assurance that the gifted are quite easy to teach by comparison.
