Lost Talent: Unrealized Educational Aspirations and Expectations among U.S. Youths.

Hanson, Sandra L.

Sociology of Education, v67 n3 p159-83 Jul 1994

Analyzes data from the High School and Beyond study to explore lost talent among late high school and post-high school students. Maintains that lost talent occurs when students who show signs of early talent have educational expectations that fall short of their aspirations; have reduced expectations over time; or are not able to realize their earlier expectations.
