Myths About the Parents of Gifted Children

Parental involvement in school, especially when you engage the parent in two-way communication, has been found to positively affect the self-perception of a teacher as well as job satisfaction (Tschannen-Moran, 2007). Parents are too demanding of teachers Because gifted students often are not challenged in the regular classroom, parents become dissatisfied and ask that the teacher challenge their child to reach his potential. In a recent study by the National Center for Research on Gifted Education (2018), researchers found that students from low income families are far less likely to be identified for gifted and talented programs.
