'Transitive property of Stupid.'
I think we have a new acronym...TPS. Sounds like a good logic error exercise to cover with gifted children, their teachers, and their parents.
For my child with normal PSI and WMI, it's a difference of effort and repetition necessary for learning. Although abstract thought and incredible insight comes pretty easily, computation, reading and spelling have required effort and learning over time.
I've been thinking about this and how it ties into what Grinity said about the 1:2 ratio.
How much opportunity is there in a typical classroom for children with high GAI to engage in abstract thought and incredible insight?
When learning becomes too heavily weighted on effort and repetition, does competition and besting others replace the joy of abstract thought and insight?
Does any of this tie into DD6 telling me she spends much of her time at school daydreaming?
