In order to keep students motivated, they should have opportunities to work at their best pace (i.e. let them work with other “gifted” students on interesting projects from time to time). On the other hand, learning how to interact with everyone is important and that will matter when it comes to functioning in society as an adult. It will also ensure that gifted people remain aware of and interested in all of society’s problems and not just whatever is happening in their silo.

They will be likely be surrounded by people with similar intellectual capabilities. I know that "learning how to interact with everyone" gives people a warm fuzzy feeling but the lack of it is unlikely to be a serious handicap.
