My DS colored a clothes pin in his "gifted" class. See poem below. So sad.
In his book Gifted Children Speak Out Delisle records the feelings of an 11-year-old boy in Michigan who mimics, in his poem, the continual repetition of already learned material to which he is subjected. He sees the teacher as a time-thief!
�All the time I just sat there
sat there
Waiting for something to happen.
My teachers should have ridden with Jesse James,
My teachers should have ridden with Jesse James
For all the time they stole from me.�
