Period.<BR/><BR/>I also bet that the gifted kids are not being served in any special way within the regular classrooms. <BR/><BR/>It benefits schools to label kids with a LD so they get more $$ for more specialists. That is why they focus so much on the weaknesses of students. If the government gave double the amount of $$ for kids labeled as gifted we'd suddenly have a boom of gifted kids in this nation!!ChristineMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388497877158577422noreply@blogger.com
