`  ==Thanks for editing==  Hello and thanks for your copy-edits. You asked me to provide a source for ``A common misconception has portrayed Gymnasien as schools for the gifted``... again I don't have one. I just realized somebody wrote in all articles about the German educational system that Gymnasium was a school for the gifted and nobody corrected it. So i thought that it must be a very common miscopnception english-speaking people have.   :Oh, by the way, might I ask you, what ``grading`` on a curve means. In Germany grades are supposeed to follow a bell curve, but we don't have standardized test, so we don't have this ``90%=A, 80%=B, 70%=C``, still grades follow a curve. Could this still be called ``grading on a curve``?  `
