As a teenager who was cut off from gifted and talented education, I continously try to figure out what is wrong with me. The triggering factor may be that I am in Extension Classes for classes with existing accelerated curriculums, but am not 'gifted and talented.' Don't worry, it's probably just me. Interesting.

]]> Comment on Hank Johnson Thinks Guam is a Boat the Size of Manhattan by tathompson http://www.talentedandgifted.info/2010/hank-johnson-thinks-guam-is-a-boat-the-size-of-manhattan/comment-page-1/#comment-75 tathompson Wed, 07 Apr 2010 21:19:05 +0000 http://www.talentedandgifted.info/hank-johnson-thinks-guam-is-a-boat-the-size-of-manhattan/#comment-75 Carly,<br /><br /><br />You're right. I went back and listened to the video more closely. I didn't catch his exact words the first time, so I apologize if I misrepresented his statements re: the size of Guam. But, my point is, either he is making a joke (which he claimed to be doing) and it's inappropriate to be joking at that moment, or he really is clueless. Either way, it's not something he should brag about. Carly,

And the fact that a 10% population gain would occur is a problem for the residents and the ailing infrastructure. Perhaps not capsize, but he did have a legitimate concern about the amount of people being stationed there. actually, Hank Johnson said 24 X 12 or 7(at its thinnest width) so that would be more in line with 209 square miles.

If properly selected ( testing, specific gifted testing, open ended writing test, teacher recommendation to refer students with that self motivation rather than solely parent motivated) then this is an excellent way of reaching the needs of truly gifted children who would be held back in the regular education classroom.
