Education undoubtedly has a great value to our society and any person as well. It
is the acquisition of knowledge and abilities which forms the development of one's
character and mental powers by systematic training and instruction. Thus, as an
important part of education system,school also plays an essential role in our daily
lives. There are many kinds of school nowadays but in my point of view, studying
in the school for the gifted without doubt brings about many advantages.

First and foremost, the school for the gifted is a specialized one for those
students who show their exceptional talents in academic fields such as basic
sciences, social science and languages with a mission is to offer the best programs
for its students to achieve excellence in their talented field – the dawn of human
civilization. Consequently, being a member of this school means that student will
be educated in a high-standard-educating environment where all the students and
teachers are friendly, confident, dedicated and preeminent. Simultaneously, by
attending the school for the gifted , students are certainly affected by many great
qualities of friends, teachers so they learn a lot from them and are getting better
and better everyday. According to a student who asked not to be named, She said:
“Not until I attended this school, has my life completely changed. I become more
confident, active and gain a lot of knowledge as well as a large number of useful
things in life”

Second, unlike most schools, that the school for the gifted is heavily invested
with a large amount of money in the useful facilities and up-to-date equipment for
teaching and studying leads to such a marked improvement in the ability to
acquire knowledge and use it in concrete situations. For instance, studying
chemistry in the modern laboratory fitted with all necessary equipment to carry out
an experiment will give students a lively observation rather than a lot of dry
information in a textbook. This by all means has a deep significance to optimize
their studies and helps them to go off the old methods with such a great deal of
rigid theory. Hence, nowhere can students study in such a convenient and effective
environment as the school for the gifted.

Futhermore, not only is famous for its high-qualified education but the school for
the gifted is aslo regarded as a big source of opportunity. Should students attend
this school, they will be offered many chances of taking part in many competitions
in both domestic and international whose purpose is to help students to make
friend, exchange culture and the most important – assess their abilities . In
addition , its students always recieve special favours and appreciation from
recruiters, which contributes to the probability of winning a scholarship or getting
a job as well. Therefore, there is no denial that this kind of school opens up
limitless prospects of development for man’s talents and intellect.

On the other hands, nowadays, there are many parents who are concerned about
whether they should let their children attend the school for the gifted or not
although they’ve known for long that it is not easy to pass the entrance
examination. This is mainly due to the pressure that parents think their children are
supposed to deal with when studying at this kind of school. However, with a more
positive outlook, pressure is not only a burden but it is aslo a wonderful catalyst for
them to put more effort into their studies. In other words, peer pressure and social
norms may turn into powerful motivation that makes students do their best in order
not to be left behind and dropped out of the race. Consequently, staying under
pressure is so effective a way for students to make progress and be more mature. 

In conclusion, viewed from different angles, studying in the school for the gifted
can offer us many great benefits, which is worth for parents and children to take
into account when making decision about the school to attend. And it goes without
saying that rights always go hand-in-hand with reponsibilities so students studying
at this kind of school should study hard to prove the fact that it is not by acident
they gain many benefits from the school where they study.

Choosing to send your child to a gifted school is the desire of most parents. First of
all, needless to say that this is a convenient and effective learning environment for
students with many equipments, facilaties, laboratories....is a good condition to
develop abilities. Secondly,
