Standardized testing seems to indicate me to be a good deal to the better spectrum of the bell curve. 

But I honestly believe all that buys me is the ability to be a run-of-the-mill-programmer.  

I certainly have no feeling of being anything other than within the middle of pack in terms 
of native intelligence among those who actually eventually get some grasp.  

I honestly feel that curriculum geared to some a population substanitally different than 
myself can only being some form of busywork for all concerned - 

as unpleasant as that might sound to those who percieve that to be their employment.
