[quote=Anonymous]PP here who has been teaching for 35 year in private as well as lower and higher SES schools in the area. As a teacher, we love seeing highly gifted kids--the truly highly gifted, the ones that are genuine geniuses in both the statistical and colloquial terms of that word. The kids that we remember for years and decades later tend to be those kids that are so smart that at 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 they are way smarter than way we are, the ones whose brains work in such a way that the researcher that lives inside every good teacher just wants to take them to a room somewhere and see if we can find the ceiling. at least fifty percent of the parents I have encountered think their child meets this descriptions. In reality it's less than 1 percent. True, true off the charts giftedness is rare. Nor frankly is it something you SHOULD wish on your children.Being that smart is HARD. Certainly just as hard as its opposite. Harder, in some ways.[/quote]
