| Our school district tattoos our kids in elementary as "gifted". Once gifted, always gifted. 6000 kids in district with 1000+ identified as gifted. We do, however have another term that is used quite often: GMA which stands for, Gifted, My Ass!! what makes me laugh is when you talk to a parent who is insistent that her child be advanced a grade, I ask if the child has GMA certification and 98% of the time the parents say something like, "yes, we've had that for a few years now!!" |
