A bigot is a person who is unreasonably dedicated to his/her own ideas and treats a member of a group with intolerance.

The fact is that some gifted kids get bored because they are not being adequately challenged in class.

Saying that "truly gifted" kids don't get bored is both mistaken and bigoted.

Saying that people who claim to have highly gifted kids are delusional is bigoted.

Saying that it is "ridiculous" that parents say their gifted child is bored in class because the class isn't challenging enough is bigoted.

I'm being serious not snarky: by your own definition, you are a bigot.

There are several posters here with teaching experience, advanced degrees, experience as gifted kids themselves, or experience as parents of gifted kids. Many (most?) disagree with you. In a few cases these are professional opinions.

Your response? Attack, call people names, twist their words into something they never said, ignore inconvenient arguments, change the subject in response to points made against you, plagiarize, post made-up statistics. I've seen you do this again and again on this thread. And again. And when we finally get down to the nub of the argument, which is that DC isn't going to do anything and you don't want to move, you change the subject and start lashing out and calling all of us bigots. Sounds like the definition of a "bigot" to me.[/quote]

I think you are confused about the number of posters. I'm the person using the word "bigot" and I haven't posted any stats. [/quote]
