    There is a strange contradiction in the US.  Everyone is delighted
    to see a musically gifted child, a skilled athlete, but find an
    intellectually gifted child, and people react negatively, and call
    gifted education "elitist." 

    Thank you to Bekka for her comments, from the perspective of one
    still in school, about the negative side of not being challenged.
