Being gifted, in school it means being in ROGATE or GT. But what does it actually mean to be gifted and why aren't we all considered gifted. Being gifted has Its ups and downs, for example plus' of being gifted are you get more attention( wether that is a good thing or a bad thing is your opinion). I will start with what it means to be gifted, to be gifted means you are creative, you have a natural talent, you are usually ahead of everybody else, you do things your own way, you excel, you are resilent, you are determined, you have some special abilities, and you have high achievement in a specific field.
The disadvantages are that more is expected of you, sometimes you get classes that are too easy, People look at you as the Nerd/geek and you are judged as an overachiever. There are less cons than Pros so if it was the opposite it probably would not be worth being gifted.
Everybody learns and grows in what is called asynchronous development. Asynchronous development is the uneven development of intellectual, physical, and emotional properties. As the WINK News say being gifted is a blessing and a curse for students.
