Two extensions that you can try:<br /><br />Start a Socratic Seminar with "Why a shotgun?" It may take the students awhile, but they will begin to make the connection that equality has stunted innovation.<br /><br />The second is for students to brainstorm five personal traits that they are proud of and then how authority's restrict the use of those traits/talents.<br /><br />Students then come up with creative handicaps to illustrate that the restrictions maybe physical or mental or emotional. To conclude their work students need to think of ways they may handicap others.<br /><br />This makes a nice lead in to the bullying action plans that students work on in seventh grade on my campus.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13856963830707757890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988354726062804159.post-9697509196006649782011-09-21T03:11:54.557-06:002011-09-21T03:11:54.557-06:00Every new visit i have always a new stuff of infor...Every new visit i have always a new stuff of information in your blog,really your blog,is marvelous.SMU Center Chandigarhhttp://www.iceiinstitute.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988354726062804159.post-69682171168945413332011-07-05T12:01:35.153-06:002011-07-05T12:01:35.153-06:00Kathee,

But with the financial state of public schools and the general lack of understanding we've encountered within the school system itself of what giftedness is even about, I feel like we're slowly sinking in quicksand with no hope for escape. My son isn't engaged at all in his classroom. We grade accelerated him from 2nd to 4th grade this year and that helped. We do what we can outside of school (see my blog for a post about our recent visit to an M.C. Escher exhibit, for example) but when my son describes school as "a waste of his time" I can't blame him. And now our younger son, who, due to budget cuts, won't even be tested until 4th grade, seems to exhibit similar tendencies. Without being tested the school won't officially identify him as gifted therefore he won't be eligible for any gifted programs (although just about all of those have been cut at this point). I feel like my kids are languishing and I don't know what to do about it.<br />Sorry to vent, but this isn't a topic that most other parents I know can relate to!Jeanne Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05315838177057316289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988354726062804159.post-50737735716899287372011-03-26T04:58:58.031-06:002011-03-26T04:58:58.031-06:00Nice posting....

I think our motto needs to be, "once an advocate, always an advocate"! If we want the world to be a better place we must identify and support our most highly-abled. Yes, all children may have gifts, but if we fail to discover the academically gifted ... our future becomes a little less bright.ljconradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964363919353821659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988354726062804159.post-28499579885660826802010-12-17T12:32:47.784-07:002010-12-17T12:32:47.784-07:00I wrote a post today about my daughter's gifte...I wrote a post today about my daughter's gifted sensitivities and exceptionalities .

I have come to the conclusion that little will change until the federal government steps up to take a leading role in providing funding for specific educational initiatives and with the recent changes in Washington, the light is dimming. A generation educated under NCLB cannot comprehend the complexities of this situation; not now, not ever. NCLB did exactly what it was intended to do. This nation will not succeed as long as it is governed by short-sighted legislators who are controlled by special interests.ljconradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964363919353821659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988354726062804159.post-5456081329896496982010-11-14T11:51:01.678-07:002010-11-14T11:51:01.678-07:00I've often wondered about the wide appeal of d...I've often wondered about the wide appeal of dystopian literature to gifted readers? Do we (unfortunately) identify closely with the characters or the plots of these fictional works? Whatever it is, I'd have to save that a majority of my top ten favorite reads are dystopian in nature. :)ljconradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964363919353821659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988354726062804159.post-64928350637462802812010-11-02T19:14:04.763-06:002010-11-02T19:14:04.763-06:00Outstanding post!

However, thanks to the tireless efforts of the Pa Asso for Gifted Ed (PAGE), we have much stronger guidelines in place to support gifted students. <br /><br />I couldn't agree with you more that we must all become more active at the state level if we are ever to see improved standards for gifted ed.ljconradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964363919353821659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988354726062804159.post-53275154760464854022010-10-31T17:09:52.400-06:002010-10-31T17:09:52.400-06:00Hello,

Although I am the one usually giving the advice to gifted parents, I have suddenly been thrown a curve ball by our school district at the beginning of my son's senior year. <br />I could not agree with you more that prevention is a key element in gifted advocacy. I thought I was prepared after 15 years, but find myself somewhat overwhelmed. Fortunately, I do know where to turn; although I never imagined I would have to fight one last battle at this late date. <br />So, I would encourge your readers to heed your advice. In the end, you are your child's best advocate.ljconradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964363919353821659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988354726062804159.post-42308633066780737332010-08-18T10:46:27.332-06:002010-08-18T10:46:27.332-06:00"ME WANT COOO...." *gurgle*
