A lot of these problems would be solved if we'd get rid of all this "gifted or not" stuff and just differentiate and concentrate on meeting kids where they are.
Yes, but...
I guess that I see this as a matter of labels not for the purpose of making things black and white but for the purpose of recognizing needs that are significantly different enough that they require special accommodation. It is similar to having an discussion of autistic or not. Sure, the label or word may not matter, but the reality is that some people fall far enough on a spectrum that they reach a point where they really differ from the norm.
I suppose that I am asking where that point is and I do realize that it varies depending on your area (do you live in a typical community, etc.).
