[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the reasons Finnish children are accredited with being so smart is because of their love of reading. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB120425355065601997 [/quote] Off the main topic, but I found this to be interesting: [i]Fanny earns straight A's, and with no gifted classes she sometimes doodles in her journal while waiting for others to catch up. She often helps lagging classmates. "It's fun to have time to relax a little in the middle of class," Fanny says. Finnish educators believe they get better overall results by concentrating on weaker students rather than by pushing gifted students ahead of everyone else. The idea is that bright students can help average ones without harming their own progress.[/i] I would like our gifted kids to behave more like Fanny, instead of showing off about how bored they are.
