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.
