Worry about gap seems to me to be the same old lack of understanding about why GT kids are ahead. If we parents had been spending every waking hour hothousing to get them to be ahead, then gaps would be a problem. No time for hothousing to catch them up! Yikes!
But for a GT kid who just gets stuff on his/her own, gaps get filled in immediately.
If teachers could understand that simply defining the term = teaching the concept most of the time, then maybe they'd be less worried about gaps. I think they expect gaps to mean that they have actual teaching work and review to do. Usually, that's just not so.
*sigh*
