I hope they don't as I did dumb themselves down in an attempt to be accepted by their society .

You can educate people, Lindsy, but I don't think you can do much about their intelligence. It's a bit like teaching someone to run: you can improve their performance but it won't make their legs longer.------ This thread is Archived ------

Gifted children are high on intelligence but not on emotions... Parents/teachers need to be mindful to that! In addition, gifted children may not necessary mean gifted adults!------ This thread is Archived ------

It's a very sad society when someone feels that they have to dumb themselves down to fit in.

Tom this is no longer the case at least in my country.
Today our academic curriculum or the school system has already embraced this phenomenon or situation and it is done in a way where in all the gifted children are in one place. They are no longer mixed up with the other kids in order to avoid jealousy or for lack of a better word the inability to handle this difference.
My grandson is an example. He is only 8 years old but two years ago he was diagnosed with ADHD first.. then eventually they realize that his brain has the capability of solving things that is equivalent to the level of high school student if not even in college. At one time we were discussing about acid and out of the blue he just blurted out all the many components and differences of acids and their value and I was just flabbergasted to learn that. And another thing his knowledge of computer lingo is formidable and he doesn't even have computer or cell phone.
I am sorry about your experience and I believe in United States the reason why they are big on Progressive learning is simply to avoid what you have experienced. It's very understandable that if you mix the gifted children with the not so gifted ones naturally conflict will arise. I am so happy that in my country the curriculum or the system that caters to this need is big on the support of the government.
