I'm sure we could cherry pick a few examples of companies where things like quality and security really are part of the culture, not just feel-good lip services. The reality is that companies are in business to make money and corner cutting is the easiest way to pad the margins.
Partially. Being gifted is special needs education. And the average K-12 in the US is not equipped to provide that for that special need, especially in a post No Child Left Behind era.
A lot of adults conflate giftedness with maturity and expect the kid to act like an adult, combined with the pressure to perform and an identity built around being gifted...it fucks with development.
