With all the talk of failing schools these days we often forget that schools can fail their brightest students too. Gifted children forced into a one size fits all approach to schooling find themselves bored or frustrated which can lead to underachievement behavioral problems or depression. Without sufficient challenges and resources say Jan and Bob Davidson Americas brightest young minds languish never reaching their full potential. Society cant afford that loss. In Genius Denied the Davidsons -- founders of a nonprofit institute that provides assistance to gifted children -- offer hope and practical advice to parents and students alike. Through their own experiences and those of the families theyve worked with the Davidsons show parents how to find an appropriate education for their children when to go outside the school system and how to create a support network with school authorities and other parents. Genius Denied shows that with commitment and creativity gifted students can get the education they deserve one that nurtures their talents and minds.
