[quote=Anonymous]Most people who are truly gifted (not just highest achieving and very bright -PP) have LDs. True giftedness often comes with deficiencies in other areas or thinking so differently that traditional learning styles don't work. Too many parents see the GT centers as an elementary school version of the Ivy league or an escape from the lower standards in public education. They just make sure that their kids are well trained and achievement oriented. Gifted centers are not there to give NT kids a leg up on their educational competitiveness. They are there to provide a different learning style for actual gifted kids who can't perform in normal academic settings. [/quote]
