| All three of my kids were "identified" as gifted by the school district in early elementary school. In my opinion, one is and the other two aren't. (Of course, the one who is has the worst grades.)
At one daughter's elem. school, 20% of the kids in her grade were identified as gifted! How can that be? (I guess we're in Lake Woebegone.) I still don't know how smart that particular daughter is. If she had her way, she'd do gymnastics and dancing and rock climbing and tumbling and cheer....you get the idea-her interests are not acadamics. |
