> But that's a different meaning of "need" to what's normally used. The novelty of applying the label differently, is refreshing to me. > Gifted kids don't need special attention to get through school and life the same way the intellectually impaired do. Need is being used subjectively here, but this is effectively a repeated sentiment. As a gifted child, I was stunted by both public school and family (my father has literally apologized to me). It took me until my 20s to start my career, which was delayed by at least a half-decade. I am willing to consider that a different approach is worth trying, to achieve a different result. Maybe this will result in a better system and I think it's worth the benefit of the doubt. It is certainly an alternative to other approaches that are popular in some areas, like banning books that mention trans individuals.
