The New York Times has an article on a disorder that seems tied with a subset of underachievers:

"You can be truly smart and still struggle in life if you lack theability to plan, organize time and space, initiate projects and seethem through to completion, and you cannot resist immediate temptationsin favor of later better rewards."

It's an interesting read but I can envision more children beingdiagnosed with this order and parents demanding that the schoolsystems pick up the tab for teaching their children how to cope.Ouch.  I'm sure there'll be some parents who will help theirchildren in coping with this.  However, there will probably bemany more that don't.

Or maybe these people that are being diagnosed as such just needto learn how to concentrate even if it takes more effort for themthan others.   It's a proven fact some people need more effortto do certain things than others.   Why not concentration?
