But unless they are treated their true value will never be known . They will be like all the other stones..so they need to be enhanced to be the shiny diamonds.

hmmm....

Well it is not really good to have a gifted child in my experience. My sisters kid is branded gifted and he is doing math and science 2 levels above his grade in school. It is really tough to keep the child concentrated at school because most of the stuff being taught in the school child has already covered.He reads fiction when teacher teaches in class and mom was called to school. But the child says i know everything that is being taught why should i waste the time listening to it again. He is branded a nerd all the time because of his high IQ eventhough he do not read anything much. he just has a photographic memory. It is difficult to mingle with kids because everyone thinks he is different than them. Mom is really scared how to keep him interested in school or else he may dropout.
It is always better to be average and hardworking. But for all the people grass is always greener on the other side.
