On page 6, par. 4, the author claims that "gifted students often like to extend regular classroom assignments"... Extention often seems like "extra" work and I have found that most gifted students do not wnat any additional work. I guess that could mean that when they identify anoter path in approaching a desired learning, we should let them take it. As for the body of this chapter all to the ideas are good for all students.Doris Gatesnoreply@blogger.com
