[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my view, a child that demonstrates that he/she has the curiousity, creativity and work ethic that could potentially produce changes that will improve our society is gifted. One who obtains high scores on IQ tests does not indicate giftedness to me. It just means that they are good at solving problems and taking tests in pressure situations. I wish they would evaluate these kids based on how they creatively solve problems and/or create innovative products at home on their own. I see it as an investment by taxpayers in future generations to improve society, eg., our transporation MESS in Northern Va. Otherwise, why waste the $ if its just the parent pushing their snowflake to test well? What does that give society?[/quote] I agree completely.[/quote]
