I was a TAG student, identified in the first grade. Sometimes classes were boring for me, but I think that a lot of students need to take personal responsibility, instead of blaming the lack of tag instruction for their lack of motivation to seek outside resources for learning. Teachers are overextended as it is. If TAG students are dropping out of school, they need to take responsibility for it, rather than blaming it on the schools.
