[quote=Anonymous]I was in the gifted program in my primary (public) school and loved it. It was a chance to lose the rigidity of the normal classroom for a few hours a week and really bend my mind around creative exercises in logic, imagination, physics, etc. And it meant that I was either skipping a lot of classroom repetition that I simply didn't need or that I was able to catch up on my classroom learning at a pace more suited to my abilities, so I wasn't bored. The GT time also gave me a weekly time where I was challenged mentally, which helped me later on in my schooling--if I ran into something that I needed to work at to learn, I put in the work. Regardless of whether my kids exhibit gifted tendencies, I hope to help instill some of that same creative love of learning and exploration that my gifted classes helped impart to me. [/quote]
