Teacher N: One of the things about the kids, and it may be true for other kids as well, but particularly gifted kids, is
they have a tendency to want to show off what they know, and so because of that, group work means that they’re
sharing in the contribution of the group, rather than what they, individually, want to show. So that can sometimes be
problematic. And it becomes particularly problematic when a kid in the group says, ‘no, I’m right’, and another one
says, ‘no, I’m right’, because they’re used to that individual work.
