I disagree JayMatt. The guys who “get it” in the first half hour are “going too far ahead” and end up just as lost as the slow kids. That is, the establishment ignores them just as much. A bored mind is bad enough, but a bored mind of the highest caliber is prone to find things to occupy itself. Unless the things it occupies itself with help the bochur grow in learning (maybe to the point where he achieves a level where he can go to an elite yeshiva and actually be challenged) which is unfair to expect.
There, I’ve spoken out against the establishment publicly, proving that I am not a real psychologist.
