摘要:This is my third participation to the target article format (see Gagné, 1999, 2004). Some colleagues, within and outside gifted education, have confessed to me their intense “targetophobia”. For my part, I do enjoy – with some trepidation, of course – that rare opportunity to receive carefully drafted and honest feedback on my work. Of course, that feedback can sometimes test one’s self-confidence. Yet, in the long run, I find these comments very helpful; even those who had little positive feedback to express2 – as I sometimes do myself! – will help me sharpen my understanding of the scientific and political issues facing gifted education. So, I sincerely thank all 40 colleagues who devoted many hours of their professional time to comment on this target article.
