Featured Article from the National Association for Gifted Children: Gifted Isn't Good
| There, I’ve said it. The startling. The scandalous. Or maybe just the incomprehensible. But gifted isn’t good. It isn’t bad either. “Gifted” isn’t a value statement.
Gifted education is not a privilege or a prize. It is not an elite club. Believe it or not, “gifted” is not a label to aspire to.
