"I'm not really good at mentoring struggling students. I skip steps in math and reading comes very easy to me. Both of us end up frustrated and I miss out on learning time. Saying that teaching a subject will make me understand it thoroughly is bunk. I'm not the student who needs that!"

Incidentally, students' own thoughts about gifted education can be found on a post from Tamara Fisher's "Unwrapping the Gifted" at http://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/unwrapping_the_gifted/2013/03/ten_ways_gifted_education_has_helped_me.html
