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., Jane M.

A must-read for teachers and parents alike., "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.
