gifted kids rarely rise to the heights that they are capable of, and when it comes to success the average kids do just as well if not better than those identified as gifted.


And everyone has a different idea of just what "success" is.

I was in a gifted program from 3rd grade until 8th grade. Then they canceled the whole thing to build more bleachers for the football stadium.

My experiences were all positive. I gained a lot from being involved.

I was in a situation where my state's school system was so far behind (#51 - behind Puerto Rico), that the gifted program probably helped put me on an even academic playing field when I finally moved away.

I didn't have the crazy parents though.... they told me I was really a dumbass on a pretty frequent basis. Wink

I've got 2 of those gifted one: you gotta tell 'em that just to keep 'em humble

scary thing is that #3 kid has gained a bunch of knowledge because of the older 2 being so smart. He uses the following words in complete sentences, correctly and in the right context: ridiculous, fragile, responsibility I'm amazed
