Some may be genius, but we all have gifts and talents

One thing I don't get is why a lot of teachers and educators seem to only encourage kids who are pure genius. And why they make sure a big deal out of I.Q.s-I.Q.s are great for background informatin, but it dosn't matter how big or how little someone's I.Q. is, it's their ability to work hard, and to work well with others. We all have gifts and we all have talents that God gave us to use for His will, for His perfect plan.
I get why that have special classes for those really smart genius kids-that makes sense. But why does They have to call it "Gifted and Talnted"-we all have gifts and talents, and teachers really need to encourage that! Maybe part of the reson kids drop out of school, or don't go to colloge is because they feel like they don't have any talent or gifts when they do! All because they aren't geunis-no that their is nothing wrong with being a genius; ithink that is great and amazing-dosn't me they aren't talnted!
So this is what I think
