I chose this particular picture because I have a personal interest in gifted students and also I feel that a lot of the times gifted students do not get enough attention. This picture has a few interesting facts and statistics about gifted learners that I found helpful. For instance 88% of high school dropout have passing grades but drop out from boredom. That is a completely shocking fact that we as future teachers should be ashamed of and is a fact that with proper teaching could be avoided.  Also gifted learners often know half of the year's curriculum before the year starts. These statistics show that we as teachers need to better adapt our material and lessons around gifted students and give them as much attention as children with special needs.
