[quote=Anonymous]NT kids might do better in a special perr class so they don't have to try to blend in with the rest of the class. I was a NT gifted kid and I faced tension between my mother's desire for me to "show my ability" and my desire for friends and self preservation. In 3rd grade we did have a special cluster of what I now see were the gifted kids and we did projects like research a country and write a booklet about it. Nice. Lifelong interest in Japan. IMO the best thing about a perr group would be learning that others are as good or even better than you at academics, no matter how hard you try. I ended up at MIT and it came as a shock to many. The classic was orientation day when the MIT president asked the freshman class "how many of you think you will be above class average?" Almost everyone raised their hands. He said "Look around you. Think about that." Sheepish dismay abounded. If you don't know why...well... [/quote]
