amusingly not a mention of benjamin bloom and his seminal work "Developing Talent in Young People". he and his team studied over 120 individuals under 40 in 6 fields and found consistent themes. this few page PDF breaks it down nicely: http://www.kragen.net/uploads/4/5/4/3/4543087/developing_talent_in_young_people_-_book_review.pdf http://www.kragen.net/uploads/4/5/4/3/4543087/developing_tal... in short, parents, educators, and kids have to own specific roles in this. sadly little of this is outlined in the piece. more on this in an interview with bloom: http://leading-learning.blogspot.com/2009/01/developing-talent-in-young-people.html http://leading-learning.blogspot.com/2009/01/developing-tale... while not everyone can raise a prodigy, a prodigy can come from anywhere.

Nice to see a comment on Bloom. The Kaplan folks mentioned in their initial lecture that they found most MCAT questions fit within that schema. So, like we do in the military, I read what the enemy wrote for each each other: I pulled his Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. Most of it is very dry government-reporty sort of stuff, but the Appendix is a nice concise outline. Email me if you want a copy, or see if you can get it through interlibrary loan.
