Myths of Rogate

There are many different advantages and disadvantages of being gifted. There are also many myths. Some common ups of Rogate are get treated differently. Your teachers could think you are exempt from some work, or you don't have to do as much as the other students. But being treated differently could also be a disadvantage. The teachers also could think that because you are gifted, you need to be challenged more then the other students, or do more work then them. Another up of being in Rogate is the feeling that you are in Rogate, you are a gifted student. Not necessarily better that the other students, but smarter then them. And an up has an equal down, you might be made fun if people know that you are in the smart kid class. There are also many myths about Rogate that are not true. The myth that all kids are gifted. The truth, well all children are gifted in some way or another. But, the gifted label used in school refers to an educational standpoint. There is another myth about gifted students, all gifted students always get good grades. That is definitely not true. I have gotten bad grades on assignments like the bio test we just took, and many other kids in my rogate class have not done well on other assignments either. These myths were talked about on this page on gifted learners.
