The "OOPS" Resources for Gifted Students & Their Teachers
  "But if he is a gifted child--one in a hundred--he has to know 100 other boys to find
one like himself, and half the time the hundreth child is a girl and he's sunk."


 
 "There are 40 different cognitive 'thinking' skills that all students use to acquire new information and build knowledge. One of more of the cognitive skills can fail to develop appropriately, regardless of the intelligence of the students. This becomes an undetectd learning problem. The students feel like there is a 'glass wall' in front of them." From: The Calvin Academy: http://www.calvinacademy.com
