[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not flaming you but is this a real question? You are asking if dealing with kids' "emotional oddities" because they are "gifted" is part of the curriculum or program? No. Just no.

Not at our CES. There are some kids who have social or emotional issues just like at any other school. There are also many kids who are very social, outgoing and confident.

There are some teachers who try to support the kids who have struggling socially or emotionally but they do this because they are nice. Most of them don't do anything.

I don't think you understand the question or perhaps maybe not as familiar with gifted learning standards. At the local, state and national levels social/emotional learning tools are being intentionally integrated across the board, and they have come to be a measure a well-designed accelerated learning program. It's not uncommon for kids who are outliers on IQ to have more complex issues with anxiety, perfectionism, rigidity and social isolation. Genuinely happy to cite some of the data on this, but why in the world would you default to "no. just no." seems harsh and misinformed.[/quote]
