[quote=Anonymous]I never use the term "gifted" because it's so loaded. I explained it as an outdated term that schools made up before even I was born. I said, really, they identify the kids who learn differently from most of the other kids in the grade and teach them how they think they will learn best. It has nothing to do with being smarter or more talented - because people excel at different things at different times. Right now, the schools think you will learn best by being in this new group. She seems to have accepted that and feels low to no pressure. [/quote]
