The child's parents are telling Mr. Smith that they want him to recomend their child be put into this program because they were both gifted as is his older sibling. Mr. Smith wants to do what best for the child but not to be yelled at by the parents. Should Mr. Smith put he recomend the child for the gifted program? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) My brother was a gifted student when he was in school and we found out he was gifted when he was in kindergarten but my brother did not want to go into the gifted program because he was afraid he was going to lose his friends. It took a lot of convincing to get my brother to agree to go into the gifted program. I think that it is important to do what the student wants.
