Natural Gifts vs Academic Performance: Are Grades Enough?
Academic performance can provide useful evidence, but it is not a complete map of natural gifts.
What grades reflect
A combination of understanding, memory, study habits, motivation, teaching quality, assessment format, opportunity, consistency, and subject interest.
Capabilities grades miss
A student may have strong leadership, creative, interpersonal, practical, entrepreneurial, observational, or organizational abilities that do not appear clearly on a report card.
The better question
What does the student's academic performance tell us, and what important abilities might exist beyond it?
You may be using abilities every day without having a clear language for them.
