Abstract
This article discusses the major problems in urban inner city schools in the U.S.A. It discusses the issue of the validity of the use of conventional psychometric tests to assess the abilities of disadvantaged pupils; and the writer justifies the use of alternative assessment procedures. She emphasises the importance of changing teacher attitudes toward the disadvantaged gifted since many teachers seek to identify high achievement in conventional school subjects rather than to identify pupils with a high potential for learning. The paper concludes with suggestions of how to nurture and develop the talents of disadvantaged youngsters.
