[quote=Anonymous]I personally believe that some gifted kids can still be happy in a school that doesn't challenge them. They enjoy their friends and get many other positive things out of it. But, in my opinion you are doing a disservice to a gifted kid to not challenge them hardily. Letting a kid coast and get praise for their straight As that they didn't work hard to get is not good. Why should they deserve to have their name listed on the honor roll when they put in half the effort of the others? They absolutely shouldn't! All kids need to learn how to work hard, fail and try again, have an awareness that there will always be someone smarter than them. These are the things that build character and prepare them for real life.[/quote]
