I agree, montana, and I also don't think it has a thing to do with being "not GT enough." Perfectionism is a much better fit!
I'm glad to persuade you on that one, MON. Normally I'm more interested in the ideas than the persuasion, but on this one, I think it mattered that you saw what I was saying, since I think you're right that you were accepting the school's (wrong) take on it. I like montana's statement on it a lot:
I guess in that way, the gaps are an opportunity for learning to handle not knowing, which is really important.
That's good stuff!
It may not always be easy for the child to deal with not knowing something, but I think that makes it all the more important that they get that chance. You know? The harder it is, the more they need it.
