Why Gifted Education?

This blog is the posting of the Gifted Education Class.  However, viewing test scores allows us to know that not all Gifted Education students achieve as high as they should on standardized testing.  So, what is the purpose of coming to Gifted Education?   Direct Service means leaving the General Education class and coming to a special class in order to have the opportunity for enrichment learning not available in the general education classroom.  However, it is supposed to encourage and motivate Gifted students to succeed in other subjects.  But there seems to be a problem.   What do you think that problem could be?  Give me your thoughts, your ideas: Why are test scores of Gifted students in the Average range instead of Above Average?
