I personally think for gifted kids, gifted program is better for their social skills, because they won't feel as "different" as in mainstream class.Of course they need to make adjustment when they are in high school or university, but at that age they will be better prepared to make the adjustment. Another interested thing I observed:Fo r girls, even at grade 7 or 8, mainstream kids are more into cosmetics and pop stars like Bieber. While in gifted glass, if you like Bieber, you are considered dumb.

这个是很好的话题:While in gifted glass, if you like Bieber, you are considered dumb. 很有意思。为什么呢?我发现这里很多白人,尤其当地的白人,总有股子劲劲的。大概就是所谓的自信。他们对很多事情和人,都非常的JUDGEMENTAL。这个是我非常介意和非常不希望发生在自己孩子身上的。因为我发现有这种个性的人,在工作中和生活中都很孤独,是人见人绕开的。这就是我很在意的地方。

because "he is a weirdo with no talent".Michael Jackson is also a weirdo but he has talent, so it is OK to like Michael Jackson.

Looks like we have a lot social skills with our adults, especially a lot of GAME RULES that we do not get it. Justin Bieber needs to change. His fans are mostly kids, but he is getting older and he has to change his fans.So he has to act wired and bad, otherwise where is the stage that he can be on? Other guy, his name is Justin something. He helped Janet Jackson to show off her breasts at a football game in the public.
That was a part of his stage change. It is very hard for the child star to continue and still be popular to the different age group fans. So parents, let us be mature first.
