“The
aim of education should be
to teach us rather how to think,
than what to think -
rather to improve our minds,
so as to enable us to think for ourselves,
than to load the memory with
thoughts of other men.”

Habits of Mind
“Research
consistently shows that many gifted children and adolescents have the capacity for intensified thinking
and feeling, as well as
vivid
imaginations. Whether they are gifted athletes, artists, musicians,
intellectuals, or are highly creative, they may
have higher levels of emotional development due to
greater awareness and intensity of feeling.
‘Being
different’ in ability and personality characteristics may lead to higher
expectations, jealousy, and resentment by adults and peers.”
