People like Einstein and Mozart would be "prodigies" to me. Although I have no problem with the word "gifted", I find myself not using it often. :P I just asked for "accommodation for his needs". The school refers to it as "the other spectrum of special needs" since right not, there is no gifted program/ resources planned for it.
I have online friends with GT kids who use the term "bright" even though everyone on board knows exactly what they meant.
I can't stand it when the majority assumes that a GT kid will have no problem in life. And when they do, these people will quickly jump into conclusion that it's sad that the GT kids have intelligence but no EQ .
