[quote=Anonymous]Anyone else? I was always in GT classes as a kid and now, raising my own kid, I think it's an absurd title. I hate when parents describe their kids who excel academically as "gifted." All kids have "gifts" and "talents." Why not have a class called "Math 2" instead of "GT Math"? I just think it's bizarre, esp. since research shows labeling kids this way makes them risk-averse and afraid of trying things that are difficult for them because they don't want to lose the "smart one" label. My own kid is just a baby now so this is not about any perceived personal failure -- just ranting as I think about what lies ahead in terms of schools in this area.[/quote]
