That description of gifted kids "waiting" really hit home. D "waited" all the way through middle school for her peers to catch up and for her teachers to start providing challenging work. She "waited" in history class yesterday after easily filling in a 30 country map at the beginning of a World History unit, while her friend next to her struggled to decide if a country was "Russia or Asia?" It was China...

I had exactly the same reaction, and my kid is in pre-K!! I am not a geography wiz myself, but country versus continent is really kind of sad!
