As a parent of a gifted child, I believe that the current policies for gifted education SHALL remain in effect as it has allowed gifted students to matriculate successfully within their education and not feel confined or restricted to learning below their full potential. This program allows gifted children the opportunity to explore and challenge themselves in all subject areas. If these policies are changed or taken away, it can cause a hinderance to the education of gifted children which then forces them to be held back from expanding their minds at their specific levels of learning and can result in boredom or behavioral issues.
