[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This comment by Clara Hemphill bothers me: [quote]Children need to learn that hard work is more important than being born with a high IQ. Putting them in a “gifted” class sends the opposite message.[/quote] My child wan't doing hard work at all in his neighborhood elementary school -- he was just coasting. Now that he is in a class for students identified as "gifted" he is being forced to work hard, and he has had to learn that everything won't come easy to him -- he needs to put forth effort and study![/quote] I agree with the first sentence of that quote, not with the second. A good-quality gifted class puts students in a position to work hard.[/quote]
