I didn't really even know what it meant to be "gifted". I didn't realize that a child being advanced meant that they were gifted. That label floated around for a long time. I think the teachers thought we knew all these things about our child when we had no clue. Being in montessori was part of this, as she was pretty much able to work as far ahead as she wanted, but it obscured what she was doing versus other children.
