[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If gifted kids are not displaying “gifted characteristics”, and non-gifted kids are, then the characteristics aren’t “gifted characteristics.”  Maybe it should be the bright, motivated, pleaser rating system instead. [/quote]

It isn’t about that. It’s about the comments kids make and questions they ask. It’s about what they write and how they see and interpret information. It’s showing out of the box thinking that stands out from other kids. Here’s an example I once heard a friend tell me:  a kindergarten class is asked after a career presentation on teachers, what do you think is needed in order to be a teacher?  Responses that are correct and typical would be:  kids, classroom, school, desks, books, chairs, etc. Next would be on an education because it is something the kids don’t see everyday and the kid needs to think about information not immediately available and assimilate it. An amazing answer would be money - and when asked why, the kid says because the county needs money in order to pay the teacher’s salary. According to my friend, this is an actual example. She told me about this about 6 years ago. Answers like that are easy to remember because they are so unique. [/quote]
