[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 542994, member: 2627"] The way you said it here is not demeaning. At least not in my opinion. But frequently you do say it in a condescending and demeaning way or in a way that is ambiguous enough to be easily interpreted as such. I'm not suggesting that your one voice makes the difference. But when a LOT of people say to the kids "hey, GT is very, very difficult and will make you take calculus" and then they hear from GT people "you kids don't want to play school" what other way can they take that than GT isn't the place for them and that even GT people are insulting them and their abilities. We don't need to be perpetuating or feeding the negative recruiting others are doing by adding in our own "you can't do it because kids like you don't want to do it." [/QUOTE]
