�Other parents don't want to be reminded that their hothoused (gifted or not) children are somehow "less" than those children that teach themselves.
I don't think that's true. �
�or we will minimize the non-hothoused kids (those parents are lying).�
I don't think that's true.
I think that is a commonly expressed �set of feelings that you're stating. �I feel like gifted kids can put 2&2 together but they were exposed to it. �They just take it further than other kids. � �They got the original information somewhere and ran with it to reach further conclusions. �JMO.
I'm not offended but I disagree with the presumptions frequently stated that everybody prefers gifted osmosis to guided instruction because I, at least, am not convinced.
I like this quote:
It sums how I'm always pleasantly surprised by the unpredictability of the answers I read here.
Everyone was writing from their own perspective, experiences and even insecurities and they were all so very different.
