Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Gifted? Gifteds on Facebook?

Yeah, I find myself just perusing throughout the boards on the numerous discussions that have been posted.

And just to make myself clear, I was more appealing towards the notion - Are you Gifted, and Are you on facebook? Because apparently all the cool kids are on it. Not necessarily "go join fb if your gifted". Each has it's own niche, and this board works well on it's own. Since Facebook is the largest social network on the intraweb, you would figure there would have to be a couple of Gifted people on it.

But what do you know, there aren't really any established groups on Gifted people on there. I mentioned http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12268846716 because that seems to be the only group that tries to resembles the definition of Gifted. If you do a Gifted search on there, you'd see some really ambiguous groups on the list.

And I noticed that this has 2000+ hits already. So some people out there care about the subject. I think.

I Googled Circle of Moms: Moms of the Highly Gifted and got this:

Not what I was looking for but interesting reading none the less. It helped me recognize the challenge of advocating for gifted education when there's so much animosity toward the idea.

I was able to find the right link when I put quotes around Moms of the Highly Gifted. Thanks for the information.

Yikes. That's an uncomfortable read.

Wow! It is people like that that makes me want to either hide or get on the soap box. I couldn't keep reading the comments b/c it is so sad.

Really not what I needed to read right now, especially what that teacher said!
