[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not trying to be snarky, or whatever, but if you don't have a gifted child or work with gifted kids, you really aren't in a position to dictate what gifted kids need. [b]Truly gifted kids do have special social, emotional, and educational needs that are not met in a Gen Ed classroom.[/b] [/quote]

I am the parent of two gifted children and this is BS.  Some gifted children have special social and emotional needs, just like the rest of the population.   THis is snowflake thinking. [/quote]

[b]Then your DCs are smart, not gifted. There is a difference, and, yes, AAP screening has trouble making the distinction.[/b] [/quote]
