While there is information that is definitely applicable in my classroom, the presenter come across as a tad arrogant. As a Special Education teacher, I feel that she inflates certain topics and make “gifted” students seem like super heroes.

Example: “gifted” students are cheetahs. So what are “typical” or “low” students considered?
