- Workshop door Dr. Jim Delisle tijdens de conferentie 'Bijzonder Begaafd' op 12 oktober 2017 in Nieuwegein, georganiseerd door het Informatiepunt Onderwijs & Talentontwikkeling (SLO):
'Doing poorly on purpose: Underachievement and the quest for dignity'
Most of the “antidotes” for reversing academic underachievement in able adolescents are punitive and disrespectful. It is no surprise, then, that they are also ineffective and emotionally debilitating. This session provides a new look at “underachievement” from the eye of the students who wear this label. A series of school-based suggestions and solutions will be offered, each one bearing a similar foundation: preserving the dignity of students who choose to perform poorly on purpose.

Good for Mark! His entire case study reads like a powerful condemnation of all the teachers and the school he's stuck with.
Wow, I’m so grateful to have found this channel.
I was raised in Australia where we have “tall poppy syndrome” - combined with several other major factors...I just never expected to feel heard and humanised before. I can’t thank all those involved enough.
yes! spread it more.
Jim, I cannot thank you enough for your life‘s work. For the first time, I understood my past; and can now apply it to the future. This channel is a gem.
I choose to see this video because both my kids underachieves. My son walked past and said, that sounds like me, when he heard the 3rd boy in the beginning. He is 10 years old and we are looking for ways to help him, because we know that he's very smart.
A big problem is that kids from other cultural backgrounds are often not right away seen as gifted. Teachers call them students with behavioral problems. There is a study from Delft University showing how teachers in the Netherlands do this unconsciouly. That of course does not help the situation. Their parents often do not know what to do themselves.
Do you have a link to that study?
My brain is always on, a set of a multitude of thoughts, at once, entangled windows that open into other windows in a fractal form. Like many worm holes in ny mind.. The passage of time is identical to travelling through them.Yet somehow they all are happening at tonce. All entangled.. All have consequences on all of them at once... Im simply the observer shining a light.. I will concentrate on the current thing, while my brain is coming up with thee answer. I have no idea. Stressful
Thank you!
Great, thanks!

I have ADHD and an IQ of 131. I believe that ADHD is the "dark side" of high IQ. ADHD = the other side of the same coin and not a diagnosis.
My story is identical to his.
