POPSNo Gender Differences In Math Performance Thirty years of teaching taught me that all students have strengths. Find them and let them develop, was my hope with each kid. Gender just isn't a factor, except for these incorrect precepts based on the fact that religions won't allow that most women are anything but evil and should not be educated.

POPSEmotional Problems of Gifted Children And they are so often shunned by the 'Normals' as weird etc so they have problems with relationships. They grow into adults who may be the great shapers of humanity, or succumb to the tragedy of their isolation. Education really should pay more than lip service to the 'gifted child'.

POPS Child in day care dies after being bound with tape Terrible, there is no excuse. Even if the child is out of control, you never should place a child in that state. What if the boy survived what kind of mental anguish have you caused? Child care is a hard field to be, one of the thankless jobs. Meaning that you can never have enough thanks for those who are very gifted with children.

POPSWater Car This one invention by a gifted soul would have saved our ecosystem and turned our genocidal civilization into a utopia. But tragically and unjustly it is not to be. In order for humanity to climb out of their self imposed pit of pollution and war, the wealthiest among us must overcome their greed and lust for power.

POPSThe Indigo Children ....Interesting thoughts... The Indigo Children website (owned by Kryon Writings) One thesis of The Indigo Children seems to be that many children diagnosed as having attention deficit disorder (ADD) or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) represent "a new kind of evolution of humanity."* These children don't need drugs like Ritalin, but special care and training.

POPSWere You Bored In School? Unschool! While one cannot argue with success, I can't help but wonder if this a phenomenon attained only by parents who are both intellectually adept and affluent. How would (no stereotyping or negativity intended) a factory working husband and full-time checkout at the supermarket wife with 4 kids attain these same results?

POPSThe Myth of Prodigy and Why it Matters Science writer, Malcolm Gladwell, debates the worth of placing so much attention on childhood prodigies and whether the notion of childhood prodigy hasn't been romanticized beyond it's importance. Our romanticized view of precociousness matters. When certain kids are singled out as gifted or talented, Gladwell suggested, it creates an environment that may be subtly discouraging to those who are just average. “In singling out people like me at age 13 for special treatment, we discouraged other kids from ever taking up running at all. And we will never know how many kids who might have been great milers had they been encouraged and not discouraged from joining running, might have ended up as being very successful 10 years down the road.”
