[quote=Anonymous][quote]I am grateful there is no Gifted and Talented program at my son's school. Kids are too puffed up already. Few praise humility. Even fewer castise arrogance. Some parents seem to thrive on their kids arrogance. I hope that is not me. I hope all the smarts are used to the glory of God. Let the kid know that, that if smarts are not used in the right way, they are not really smarts[/quote] What on earth are you talking about? Why shouldn't kids who have an academic talent have a program to meet their needs? My son has HFA and it is constantly a struggle for him to find someone to sit with at lunch or play with at recess. Being in the gifted and talented program is the one thing at school that he can moderately feel good about and enjoy. [/quote]
