Hi, I'm new to the forum. My background: I was identified as gifted in primary school and participated in the pull-out gifted program in my public school. In middle and high school I went to a private school that did not have a gifted program and actually dropped out of high school before graduating (though I got a GED). I did a random smattering of college courses here and there over the years, and last year I began study at a very prestigious university that has a special program for non-traditional students. I'm doing well.
I study classical languages in university, and I want to work in gifted education. I know some graduate programs in education offer a speciality in gifted ed (Columbia, Univ. of Virginia, etc), but the number of schools seems very small.
So to anyone on this forum who works in gifted ed - should I pursue graduate work in classics or in education? What are the options for people interested in this field?
