and to--finally--get her moved from a "cage" to a "fenced grassland" in her strength subject. As it turns out, she is a much happier and much faster gazelle out in the grassland than she ever was in the cage of her very modestly differentiated classroom :
That is such a lovely descriptive quote.
As far as the definitions of HG, EG, PG, OG not having proper national standardized definitions, well, they don't have to. Grinnity has repeatedly said "gifted is as gifted does. If the child is outside of the norm enough to need accommodations then that's what they are." Where if matters nationally is in the case of talent searches and DYS who set their own criterias.
IMHO this thread is correct that parents considering their family history, their child, and their community could better answer a more specific question than the generic "are they gifted?". Beyond not knowing they weigh the question for how the asker has it loaded.
