I propose a new term: 'Lumpers!'
These are folks who don't see LOG, and expect your HG kid to fit their MG gifted program (or their competitive private school) and if your kid doesn't it's your kid's fault, because the other bright kids are enjoying it just fine.
Lumpers see the top bunch as all having the same academic needs, it could be the top 25%, 10%, 5% or 3%.
Classic Lumper statements are -
"I raised you kids just fine without any special summer camp. If you just stopped paying attention to 'it,' than your kid could be normal."
and
"We have handfuls of bright kids just like your child."
and
"Here at Elite Private School, we challenge all children to their utmost, don't you worry, dear!"
If you can think of a more charitible sounding name, please suggest it here, but I think we need a word to represent a 'non-LOG' perspective.
Love and More Love,
Grinity 'who is a lumper in many areas, but loves LOG!'
