Genius Denied: How to Stop Wasting Our Brightest Young Minds Paperback - 2005
by Jan Davidson; Bob Davidson; Laura VanderKam (With)
Like the national bestseller "A Mind at a Time, Genius Denied" proves that the "one size fits all" educational philosophy fails children--in this case, gifted students who are shortchanged by undemanding schools.
Summary
With all the talk of failing schools these days, we often forget that schools can fail their brightest students too. Gifted children forced into a "one size fits all" approach to schooling find themselves bored or frustrated, which can lead to underachievement, behavioral problems, or depression. Without sufficient challenges and resources, say Jan and Bob Davidson, America's brightest young minds languish, never reaching their full potential. Society can't afford that loss.
In Genius Denied, the Davidsons -- founders of a nonprofit institute that provides assistance to gifted children -- offer hope and practical advice to parents and students alike. Through their own experiences and those of the families they've worked with, the Davidsons show parents how to find an appropriate education for their children, when to go outside the school system, and how to create a support network with school authorities and other parents. Genius Denied shows that with commitment and creativity, gifted students can get the education they deserve, one that nurtures their talents and minds.
