“There needs to be sufficient and consistent levels of community, university, teacher & institutional awareness and understanding of GLD children. The earlier a child can be identified, the greater the chance that the child will reach his/her potential.” https://t.co/KJFQgAoC4h

“A C-student who can manage his own academic life has a better chance of succeeding in college than an A- or B-student who depends on parental oversight.” https://t.co/us69eWmbty #collegebound #hscchat #Classof2020

#Gifted teens often have intense battles with depression, anxiety, and other forms of mental illness. It’s important to let them know that it’s okay to seek mental health support, such as therapy or counseling. Getting help can save lives.

@lolcuuute @MartynovTrade @Amelia_Pond___ @Lamception @e_cmch Not everyone is a native English speaker. Check your privilege.

@MarianneKuz @LisaBritton Couldn’t agree more. The most shameful part is that we’re forcing students to go into debt to get the free education they were supposed to be given. Free remedial classes should be a greater priority.
