 Re: Gifted Kid? | |
I agree in that I don't personally see any reason to test/identify a child as gifted. I think that we should treat every child as "gifted" and focus on educating them to their fullest potential. However I'm not sure how that is or could be accomplished practically in today's school systems.
One thing I might worry about if a child had exceptional intelligence would be humility. Does identifying a child as gifted encourage ego? At the same time I think instilling the sense of "you are special and unique" can't be lost. |
