I'll bite. Truths:
1. The responsibility of the teacher is not simply to educate the child, but also to provide an environment that explicitly and implicitly communicates to the gifted child the value of his/her unique perspective.
2. Sensitivity arising from preternatural maturity of thought process and OE can be misinterpreted as immaturity.
3. Giftedness presents in early childhood. Meeting the child at his/her level is necessary at all ages, not simply starting in grade 3 or later
4. It is NOT the responsibility of the young child to actively seek out enrichment or accommodations from teachers. These should be forthcoming and commensurate to the child's ability and interest without the child having to make a spectacle of himself/herself in front of classmates to access an adequate education.
5. Parents who sensitively feed child-led learning are in no way damaging their children or causing them to lose out on childhood.
