Students take taxis from various schools in Hamilton to Holbrook, where they gather with other people from their city. Branigan-
Pipe and Carey see 350 talented students from all over the city every month through this program.
The curriculum of the concentration center does not follow the traditional teaching mode. Branigan-
Pipe and Carey said they were there to facilitate the process, not to lead it.
\"Our main goal at the center is to let students really understand themselves as learners,\" Carey said . \". As Branigan-
Pipe explained that there is no cycle or pre-
There is no clear theme, no ringing interruption, no set lunch time, and no specific transition other than the student\'s arrival and departure.
Students are encouraged to ask questions, think about possibilities, and find answers.
Recently, a class in the sixth grade genius class, the students used the computer game \"My World\" to carry out the two roads that diverged on a yellow wood mentioned in Robert Frost\'s famous poem.
Through my world\'s ability to allow players to build a 3D environment, students create a flat, easy path along the second road full of twists and turns, twists and thorns.

\"Being able to build it allows them to understand it better.

There is no traditional \"pre-class\" teaching space and no specific seating.
The rooms are set up to encourage small conversation groups, including the arts center, computer lab, container garden, quiet and comfortable meeting space, and even a table where students can operate a 3D printer.
For those students who may need special attention, this is an ideal educational environment, just like those students who are on the other end of the academic field. Branigan-
Pipe says gifted students face the same stigma as disabled students.
\"People think that they will be fine because they have talent, or that we just stick to elitism,\" she said . \".
\"It is important to recognize that many gifted children drop out of school, fail or fail.
No academic talent.
This is intellectual.
We got it wrong.
We often think that gifted children are children who sit in straight rows all day doing math and science and getting.
