“ reject the idea that some children are naturally gifted”
as a father of a gifted kid this make me angry!
Why is it ok to say some kid are one standard deviation below the curve and need special class and teacher.
But it’s not ok to say some student are also one standard deviation above the curve and also bold special class and teachers?
- commandlinefan 5y agoIf you reject the idea that anybody is "naturally gifted", you must also reject the idea that anybody is smarter than anybody else, unless you want to waste everybody's time on meaningless semantics and pretend that the word "smart" doesn't mean what everybody uses it to mean… but wasting time on meaningless semantics is a popular pastime these days! I can understand why some people hate to face the fact that some people are smarter than some other people (maybe even themselves!) and I'm honestly surprised that this has only become a societal problem recently.
