I found this course to be very informative. I do not know a lot about GT students and this was a great place to start.

Though it is necessary to help the student flourish, it is extremely difficult in the current educational and familial/personal systems. Unless there is a major change to the educational system and families are able to be helping their students without worrying about going into poverty, then this sounds very wishful thinking.

Really liked this subject. One of the things that frustrate me the most, are gifted students who don’t try or care about growing as an individual. It is frustrating, because many children struggle and these children don’t and they don’t use what they have. This video helps for students and parents to realize it’s not just if they have the talent, it’s if they have the motivation to do something about it.
