Chronicle Staff Writer
The Chronicle asked residents
whether they think parents
should coach and push children
to become gifted and talented
students.
Kim Fisher, secretary at Baptist
Hospital: I don't see why not.
If your child has the potential, he
or she should be pushed to
achieve.
Any child who shows potential
should be pushed to greater
heights.
Harvey Lewis, chauffeur. As

more. But the child should be

the child to learn as much as they
can.
While a child is young, he
should learn new and interesting
things.
George Davis, Pyramid
Masonry: It is according to what
age the child is. I would push my
child, if I felt he could do well in
the gifted and talented program.
Children should be pushed as far
as they can go.
And, the parents should be
behind the children all the way
and support the child whether he
succeeds or fails.

be forced to be gifted and
talented. All children have different
levels of understanding,
and they shouldn't be pushed into
the program if they aren't
mature enough to handle the
"class. ~
Sometime the program could
hurt them more than help. Many
children go into the program, and
often the only thing they are concerned
about is what grade they
are going to get. That is not a
healthy attitude.
Before the child goes into the
program, trie parent should talk
to the child and the teacher
before making the decision.
Nancy Black well, housewife*.
The child shouldn't be held back.
If they are able to do well, they
should be pushed to learn all they
can.
The gifted program is
something good for the student,
so they should be pushed to do
well.
Aaron Dubose, security guard:
I think they should be pushed,
because if they are not challenged,
then children become bored.
However, they can't be pushed
too hard, because a parent could
damge a child. Gifted and
talented children still should be
told they are no better than any
other child.
Rose Clemon, housewife: I
wouldn't mind if my child went
into the gifted and talented program
because they could learn
more. The parent should push
their child to succeed.
