That's the real meaning that I think we can all agree upon.

What to DO about it remains elusive, and I think we're just discussing why that is.

Also-- what DOES that mean in terms of ignoring gifted children's needs?

I just find it hysterical that we daily read here about the struggles that ivy-league graduate, PG parents, who have food security and live in safe neighborhoods and can take time from work to meet with schools have getting their gifted kids an appropriate education but if parents with a high school degree living in poverty struggle some believe it is because they have inferior values and are lazy.
