III. Reading comprehension 12%For some children, school work is no fun at all. But this is not because they find it difficult. For a few children in the world,the lessons intended for their age group are just too easy.About one child in every million is what is known as “profoundly gifted.” He or she has very high intelligence and can doacademic work that most children---and even many adults---can’t. He or she may be able to attend university classes at a veryearly age, or solve complicated mathematical problems that would confuse most people.But sadly, many schools don’t recognize the talent of these children. Because they aren’t encouraged to jump ahead to worksuitable for their abilities, they can quickly become bored. They might also hide their talents to fit in more easily with theirschool friends.Some organizations now are starting to promote the interests of “gifted children” like this. The Davidson Institute for TalentDevelopment in the USA gives advice to parents on how to help their child get the best from his or her education. It alsocriticizes many schools for not helping these children to “reach for the stars.”In today’s world, where so many problems---for example, environmental and medical concerns---are arising each year, weneed as many clever new minds as possible to try to solve them. Therefore, shouldn’t children like this be encouraged to shine,and not left bored and frustrated, in their school classroom?
