Myths of Gifted Children - There are myths about gifted children that prevent us from addressing their needs and helping them to reach their potential. Myths such as they love school and get straight A's or that they are good at everything, cause some to believe gifted students will be OK without any specialized services. The truth is, many will not as nearly 25% of all high school dropouts are gifted. As teachers, administrators, and parents, it is important for us to understand that these myths are not true so that we can do what's best for our gifted children.
