You know I have for the most part shrugged my shoulders with the argument for not using the term gifted. This term, another term... we will always have people that find it insulting for one reason or another. BUT I am really getting to the point that I agree with those that hate the term gifted and the idea that it is a very specific educational/psychological term is doing that for me. I roll my eyes every time I read that post. The word gifted is generic period. It certainly does not make the general public think gifted? Oh yes that specific educational term. LOL
So if we are going to hunt down the posts and quickly post the same thing every time someone uses gifted then maybe everyone else is right ... gifted is not a great term for our kids.
And I was saying that yes every child has a gift and are special. So I accidentally typed in the word gifted ... sue me!
