Eide Neurolearning Blog: Changing Needs of Gifted Education

  • "...Academic talents can wax and wane...(so that) a child who clearly outpaces his or her peers academically at age 8 can end up solidly in the middle of the pack by the end of high school. Instead of being innate and immutable, giftedness can be nurtured and even taught—and if ignored, it can also be lost."

This does lead to under-recognition of children (late bloomers, late talkers, slow performers, non-privileged children) as well as over-estimation of others (early bloomers, early talkers, quick performers, privileged children).
