Here's an old favorite -
MOTS - more of the same

refers to what many schools give their advanced students instead of compacting the curriculum so that the kid can move on to new challenges.

Example - Because Robert completed the page of single digit addition quickly, his teacher gave him 5 more sheets of double digit addition to complete. She didn't realize that at home he is doing division. When Robert didn't show any interest in completed the 5 pages of double digit addition, the teacher concluded that he doesn't have any unusual drive to learn and resisted Robert's parents attempts to get subject acceleration to Robert's Readiness Level.

Frowns,
Grinity

A side note: when I use GT, I usually mean just plain "gifted," since apparently there are some places that distinguish between "gifted" and "talented." I don't really understand that kind of system, but I try to be clear about my meaning after some confusion here in the past...
