Bored Gifted Students
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page paper. Gifted students are bored and dropping out of school at a terrible cost to themselves and to the nation. Yet, the loss does not seem to be understood by the general public who seems to believe that these youngsters, because they are bright, should be able to make it on their own without special services. By not addressing this issue more directly and forcefully, the educational system is, in effect, giving tacit approval for an entire group of students to become underachievers. This essay discusses the results of gifted students not receiving special services. A brief overview of students who are both gifted and learning disabled is also provided. The writer concludes that the school system must address this issue to allow these students to develop their potential. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

The question arises: how can values and morals be taught without reference to their Christian and Jewish origins. Research has revealed that previous character education and values clarification programs have had no noticeable effect on students. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
