Gert is classified as a gifted child. What should her parents and teachers think about when considering acceleration or enrichment?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Gert's parents and teachers should consider how gifted she is in determining which to use.
2. Enrichment is beneficial for most gifted children because the child is kept in the classroom with her or his peers, but receives more advanced projects or tutoring to keep them intellectually stimulated and allow them to develop their gifts.
3. Acceleration-which could include grade skipping, placement in advanced courses, and early entrance to high school or college-may be appropriate if Gert is among the highly gifted. Such children may be unchallenged in the regular classroom and may experience social isolation if their talent makes it is difficult for peers to relate to them.
