    Hi everyone!

    I ran across this today and thought I'd post it. She speaks about gifted girls here and some of the pitfalls for them in our current educational system.

    As an ex-gifted *girl*, I found it very interesting!

    I liked this. I sent it on to a friend who had a teenage but had many problems in jr high. I suspect the teen is gifted at some level in Reading but definitely ADD with some other issues mixed in. My friend denies the gifted part. But the girl totally underachieves in classes but gets good test scores.

    Good article.
