[Ohiogift] Support for gifted learners

[Mary Collier]

I am pleasantly surprised to see a somewhat empathetic article on a gifted student written by Jay Matthews.  It seems that a few years back he used to not be as understanding.

All,


Support for gifted students can be iffy, and the topic is especially important as the new school year gets started across Ohio. List members might be interested in reading more on this, via veteran newspaper columnist Jay Mathews and an NAGC blog post. Details are below:

     Jay Mathews in his recent Washington Post column:
     How a top school district tried to block a very gifted child

     Also covered in an NAGC blog post:
     Schools should support gifted students, not work against them
