The logical side of me just hears nails on a chalkboard. EVERYONE evens out? Really?!?
A couple of years ago, a local parenting magazine published an article about kids who were described as "magic readers," or kids who learn to read at extremely early ages. The author interviewed two teachers from a local private school that describes itself as being aimed at gifted kids.
I nearly gagged --- the teachers used that "they all even out" quote and then made some other bogus statements. I wrote a letter to the magazine. They published mine and one other from the parent of a HG+ child. The author of the article responded to me personally, but her response didn't really answer my question. She told me she had a gifted child, and so she understood about gifted kids (?). There was no response to my questioning of her basic premise. But at least the magazine published the two letters.
