[quote=RPM9]Our school does NOT lump T with G. They are two VERY separate and clearly defined beasts. It's a good thing for the District because the Gifted percentage stays correct and manageable.
I'm not sure I'm clear on the distinction you're making here. What constitutes T? What constitutes G? How are these distnguished? Are you saying IQ=G and achievement=T?
Gifted is IQ based.
Talent is, well, talent.
DS can play guitar. He would qualify as talented. Talent can also be sports skill or artistic ability ...
