Dr. James R. Delisle Professor, Kent State University, and author of Gifted Kids Survival Book and Guiding the Social and Emotional Development of Gifted Youth Every teacher and administrator in America can benefit from reading about how lives of intellectual promise have been squandered by our public schools...and what must be done to transform genius denied into genius fulfilled., Nicholas Colangelo, Ph.D. Director, the Connie Belin and Jacqueline N. Blank International Center for Gifted Education and Talent Development, The University of Iowa Genius Denied is a highly readable and important book about some of the most important issues in the field of gifted education today. Jan and Bob Davidson make the compelling case that schools are not meeting the educational needs of our brightest students, and offer clear recommendations on what we can do about it. This book will have an impact and I absolutely recommend it., "A handbook for parents who want to be general contractors of their gifted child's education, whether in the system or out." -- The New York Times, Dr. Julian Stanley Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Founding Director of the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth, Johns Hopkins University Genius Denied is a fascinating, well-written, carefully thought-through call for better attention to the educational needs of bright boys and girls., "I absolutely recommend this book." -- Nicholas Colangelo, Ph.D., Director, The Belin-Blank Center for Gifted Education and Talent Development, The University of Iowa, Jane M. Healy, Ph.D. Educational Psychologist, author of Endangered Minds and Your Child's Growing Mind This book is not only a valuable and reassuring guide for parents of highly gifted children but also a clarion call for national attention to education's biggest "dirty little secret.", "A handbook for parents who want to be general contractors of their gifted child's education, whether in the system or out."-- The New York Times, "I absolutely recommend this book."-- Nicholas Colangelo, Ph.D., Director, The Belin-Blank Center for Gifted Education and Talent Development, The University of Iowa, "An absorbing look at how our nation is neglecting children of exceptional intelligence."-- Booklist, "Through their work with gifted students, the Davidsons have discovered teaching methods that nurture the intellect. They present these methods eloquently." -- Library Journal, "An absorbing look at how our nation is neglecting children of exceptional intelligence." -- Booklist, Dr. Miraca Gross Professor of Gifted Education, Director of the Gifted Education Research, Resource and Information Center, University of New South Wales, and author of Exceptionally Gifted Children A thought-provoking book which demonstrates vividly how the concept of "equity" has been misinterpreted in America's schools to deny an appropriate education to hundreds of thousands of children. A must-read for teachers and parents alike., "Through their work with gifted students, the Davidsons have discovered teaching methods that nurture the intellect. They present these methods eloquently."--Library Journal, "A handbook for parents who want to be general contractors of their gifted child's education, whether in the system or out."--The New York Times

Synopsis
With all the talk of failing schools these days, we often forget that schools can fail their brightest students too. Gifted children forced into a "one size fits all" approach to schooling find themselves bored or frustrated, which can lead to underachievement, behavioral problems, or depression. Without sufficient challenges and resources, say Jan and Bob Davidson, America's brightest young minds languish, never reaching their full potential. Society can't afford that loss. In Genius Denied, the Davidsons -- founders of a nonprofit institute that provides assistance to gifted children -- offer hope and practical advice to parents and students alike. Through their own experiences and those of the families they've worked with, the Davidsons show parents how to find an appropriate education for their children, when to go outside the school system, and how to create a support network with school authorities and other parents. Genius Denied shows that with commitment and creativity, gifted students can get the education they deserve, one that nurtures their talents and minds., With all the talk of failing schools these days, we often forget that schools can fail their brightest students too.
