Opis

More than a quarter of a century ago, Joan Freeman began this study of 210 children, comparing the recognized gifted, the unrecognized gifted and their classmates. This book: describes what happened to them and their families as they grew up and coped with their different circumstances; looks at the problems they faced, often described in their own words; contains personal details from in-depth interviews in homes and schools all over Britain, which are at times startling and sometimes depressing; and lays to rest many myths about the development of gifted children.
