eldertree, great way to describe Gifted. That's the stuff my kids display (which makes parenting quite interesting....)
Our local school district seems to view gifted mostly as "high achievement" and so do many parents that I know. So it's tough to advocate for my kids when there are kids showing higher school achievement early on. Some of my neighbors question why I drive my older kids to a GT magnet school everyday when their kids are "fine" at the local elementary and well above grade level in achievement testing.
