What do you think of trying to get protections for Gifted Children under the Age Discrimination Law?

If there were marches for meeting the needs of gifted children, what would we chant, put on posters, etc?

"Out of the time out corners and into the streets?"

How about: DON'T PARACHUTE MY CHILD!

(This is courtesy of my oldest daughter, 11. I was telling her about a school meeting regarding her little sister, saying that I felt the teachers/school personnel were all looking at me and thinking I was "pushing" my child. To which DD11 said, "Well, you can tell them not to parachute your child and hold her back....")
