Subject:	Education of Gifted Children
Dear Senator,

 I have three children, two are gifted and one is a
special needs candidate or what used to be called a
slow learner.

The gifted pair are constantly in trouble for their
behaviour at school. Over the past four years many
teachers have commented that both of them are very
bright and could do great things but the teachers also
admit that they have not been able to give the
children the stimuli they need as they are not
educated or trained in dealing with this situation.

Our teachers have the future of the brightest and best
of our children in their control, we should give them
(the teachers) the skills and training they require to
recognise and develop those students who have the
ability to shape the future of our society/nation.
