I also believe that at a certain age perseverance and ambition will trump IQ. An ND child with passion may very well excell more than a GT child who is not motivated.
I agree wholeheartedly! It's not how big your brain is, it's what you do with it that counts.
I agree also, but point out that ambition comes from successfully completing 'difficult' and 'interesting' projects that they have a right to be proud of. So the unaccomidated giftie is at a disadvantage in finding situations like this at school. Some are great at setting their own goals, and some aren't. The ones that are not good at finding a place to challenge themselves especially need the help of all the adults around them - parents, teachers, friends, but every giftie deserves to be well thought about.
Love and More Love,
