All About Being Gifted

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, is a very controversial topic. The truth, all children are gifted in some way or another. But, the gifted label used in school refers to an educational standpoint. Another myth is that all gifted children get good good grades. That is definetly not true.  There are many kids in my rogate class including me, that do not get perfect grades in school, but are still considered gifted.
