[quote=Anonymous] I think you're looking at this the wrong way, OP. First, gifted schools in this area cater to above-average IQ students who have managed to pass the entry requirements. That doesn't mean they're all "gifted". Gifted is on a word in the title. Second, what does gifted even mean? Does it only include >130IQs? There are plenty of different ways of looking at concept. Third, I have no problem telling my son he's gifted. I've told him he has to work hard and that being intelligent won't get him anywhere without hard work. He also has learning disabilities which he has had to work on from birth, so he knows better than you and I what hard work actually entails. [/quote]
