Abstract
Public media bring stories about children of exceptional abilities. They
call them children above average, extraordinary children, genious children etc. Such
cases are to sensationaly presented and exposed in public, but very shortly becouse
media are searching for something new.
But if we seek under the surface of those cases, we have a lot of questions-how the
parents handle those kids, do they enable them to progress with their abilities, what
schools are doing to recognize those tipe of children, and include them in education
process, and that they will not be bored and for some reason do not meet
expectations.
Complexity of this subject brings a lot of questions, but impression is not always
negative. There are many examples of devoted work of our educators with such
children. In our school system should be more individualized approach to education
of students, in order for all school children and for gifted.
It should be recognized as a gifted driving force in our society.
I believe that such children should not be elitisticly approached, but should allow the
development of their preferences with full respect for their personality.
