[quote=Anonymous]I think Mozart was gifted. Or Einstein. Lots of the people above are talking about kids who are brainy or smart, but who aren't inventing the next sustainable non-fossil fuel energy source anytime soon. In this country, I think giftedness is a substitute for the fact that schools are reluctant to stream (ie track) classes by ability or put a child up into a class with older peers. Hence schools have created the "gifted" label to deal with well performing kids. At my high school, all the brainy kids were in one class, whereas here, my kids are in classes with kids of all abilities, so the teacher has to deal with that challenge. [/quote]
