We've lots of articles that explain the buzzwords, the emotional issues, the lack of support, etc. What we really need is an article that makes suggestions, puts forth ideas, untangles the roadblocks and empowers our officials and administrations to take action to address the needs of the gifted individual. That's the article I want to see on the front cover of a national magazine! Until action is taken, we will loose an untold number of our greatest minds. Some will find their way through the bureaucracy, the tedious classroom instruction and they will excel. Others will become disappointed in the very system that is supposed to be educating them and turn to negative behaviors. Personally, I'd like the brilliant to be working with society and not against it.....

We've been lulled into handing this responsibility over to others and then get upset when our child's special needs are not meant. If we view our kid's schools as just one part of their education and we supplement that in order to meet the individual needs of our kids, they will be much better off! They've figured it out in other countries - why haven't Americans figured it out? Or have we, but we are too lazy or too greedy seeking out professional advancement to give our kid's education the priority it deserves?
