Dr.
Sylvia Rimm aids us in realizing the importance of appropriate
challenge in the classroom as part of fostering achievement
in gifted students. She points out how rigidity and lack of
challenge destroy the appropriate relationship between efforts
and outcomes and does not teach children how to function in
competitive arenas. Classrooms that provide a balance of cooperative
group learning and competitive and noncompetitive independent
learning encourage intrinsic motivation as well as the ability
to function individually and on a team in a competitive environment.
