if the GT children of our school are not seeming to be able to execute these traits and are therefore not fairing as well as the non-GT children, should we and how do we address this?
There are only fairy tail answers on how to fix this�or lots of money
The current focus of our school system is to bring every student up to the standards bar, NCLB. It is a sad fact that many gifted students can underachieve and still reach the bar, so their real potential gets overlooked. They may not be fairing as well as the non GT but, they reach the bar and that is all the school is required do.
The average kids make up the majority and the under average kids need more attention, that leaves very little time and funding for the higher than average kids.
`All we can realistically hope for is to find a good school who will take the time to acknowledge our children and even better if we can find a good teacher who can see potential, even if it is hiding.
