This should be recommended reading for parents and teachers! We really need to figure out how to educate these gifted children!!

I really like this book because I hear the voices of gifted people and their opinions about certain topics. For instance, how they fell about being gifted and what other people think of them due to their intelligence, etc. Although i cannot relate to them, I do understand how it feels like to be different. Everyone should be proud of their differences, no matter what other people say. For instance, I am left handed and I am happy to be different from the majority. Even though I wish that I am right handed sometimes, I learn to understand that being left handed is what makes me "Special" from others. Therefore, I really like reading this book and reading their responses to certain questions.
