Abstract
The author identifies six myths that pervade educational thinking about advanced learning and constrain educational opportunities for gifted students. These myths relate to higher-level thinking, differentiated learning outcomes, accelerated work, limitations on other students, standards, and students from low-income backgrounds. The author concludes that all students deserve to advance their learning, to find their own life themes in whatever creative area they can find or devise.
