Wow. Just wow.

When our kids use their giftedness in class, it usually gets them in trouble - spacing out during class discussion, asking challenging questions, persistently asking for clarification, being too literal, etc.

I am more convinced that ever that the only way things will change is if there is ever a mandate that every teacher must have one class in college that covers meeting the needs of special education children in the regular classroom. Most of these people mean well but are just ignorant that what they are saying is hurtful, condescending, misdirected and dismissive.
