Agreed, "gifted" implies a static frame, which is anathema to learning. Alternatively, "accelerated", implying the student must work to keep up the pace.

- BitwiseFool 5y agoI think the issue is that we're going to end up with a Euphemism Treadmill where society will come up with new terms to describe the concept of "gifted", and use them until those new terms get loaded with the same connotations that made them want to change it in the first place. I don't see this ever going away because human beings value intelligence and like to categorize people as "smart" or "dumb".
