    I don't think they should have the division (segregation) between gifted and non-gifted students. I from personal experience believe a gifted status of a student is directly related to how involved the parents are in that childs life and education.

    Possibly, The best software is often written in response to a need or just something for coolness.

    Same thing happened to me, a few years back. I wacked my toe on a metal work bench and bent out like something nasty, hurt like he**, black n blue and everything, but I didnt have medical insurance and decided to lay up for two weeks to let it heal on it own. Having first aid merit badge from scouts helps in these circumstances.
