Hothouse Kids: The Dilemma of the Gifted Child

Book Description

Critically acclaimed author Alissa Quart breaks the news about an issue that will be of urgent concern to parents and educators as well as adult readers with "gifted" pasts: the dilemma of the gifted child. While studies show that children who are superior learners do benefit from enriched early education, the intensely competitive lives of America's gifted and talented kids do have risks. The pressure can have long-term effects in adult life, from debilitating perfectionism to performance anxiety and lifelong feelings of failure.

Quart traveled the country to research the many ways in which the current craze to "produce" gifted kids and prodigies has gone too far. Exploring the overhyped world of baby edutainment and "better baby" early education programs, she takes a hard look at the claims about educational toys and baby sign language. Taking readers inside the ever-more elite world of IQ testing, she reveals the proliferation of new categories of giftedness, including "terrifyingly" and "severely" gifted and examines the true value of such testing. Profiling the explosion of kid competitions-from Scrabble(tm) and chess to child preaching-she uncovers the dangers of such heated pressure to excel so early in life and exposes the prodigy hunters who search science and math fairs for teens to hire for Wall Street investment firms. Critiquing the professionalization of play, she visits with kids who've been identified as prodigies-from a four-year-old painter whose works sell for $300,000, to an eight-year-old professional skateboarder who is backed by nine corporate sponsors. Surveying expert assessments of the necessary role of unstructured play in child development, she warns about the disappearance of recess and the pitfalls of children's overstuffed schedules today. She also profiles the growing divide in opportunities for wealthy kids versus those from middle and lower income families who are losing out as gifted programs at public schools are gutted in the wake of the No Child Left Behind Act.

How should parents and educators draw the line? How much enrichment is too much, and how much is too little? What are we doing to our gifted kids? Alissa Quart's penetrating in-depth examination provides a much-needed wake-up call that will spark a national debate about this urgent issue.

You do your best parenting before you have kids.......2007-08-07

I was disappointed by this book. I know I did my best parenting before I had any kids and I guess Alissa is doing the same. What I expected when I picked up the book and what I got were diametrically opposed. While I am sure there are parents who push their kids too hard, most don't. Rather than concentrate on the minority I'd prefer she give help to the majority, she didn't! I have read many books on the subject and found hers to be the least help of any I've read in the last 16 years!

Interesting but Frustrating.......2007-07-28

The biggest problem I had with the book is that Ms. Quart is childless, so she second-guesses what parents are doing without ever having been in that position herself. I'd like to see whether Ms. "Holier-than-Thou" Quart gets a bit more sympathy when she has her own child(ren). She is obviously very bitter about her own experience as something of a writing prodigy, and that bias colors her writing throughout the book.

She also lumps together a bunch of different issues that don't really have all that much to do with each other. It's like she can't decide what the focus of her book is- true prodigies, garden-variety gifted kids, or the average IQ offspring of affluent parents.

I was particularly disappointed in the chapter on homeschooling. Ms. Quart views homeschooling as always inappropriate "hothousing" even though earlier in the book she discusses how many public schools are cutting back or eliminating gifted programs. Also, she fails to understand that many parents are homeschooling precisely to get away from the unhealthy competitive atmosphere and obsession with external markers of achievement she repeatedly criticizes in her book.

No Dilemma Presented Here.......2007-04-17

A dilemma suggests two views, a situation where a difficult choice must be made. The author presents only one view. Over and over again she tells stories of unhappy adults who were paralyzed by the gifted label and the experience of being pushed by extreme parents. While I believe these stories and pain are genuine, I cannot understand why Ms. Quart does not speak of other adults who have thrived, those who look back fondly on their gifted education and the enrichments their parents offered. She mentions the current Spelling Bee pronouncer and former champion, Jacques Bailly. In other venues Bailly has frequently spoken how much he believes in academic competition and how much he enjoyed the experience as a child. But here Bailly is only quoted when he registers a complaint.

Stories of positive experiences never are mentioned. The balance would have made this book live up to the subtitle.

The crucial flaw of the book is that Ms. Quart completely misses the point about gifted children. She speaks of giftedness as something forced on children (or as a classification "bought" by wealthy families.). Anyone who spends time with a truly gifted child knows that the push comes from the child. No parents of a gifted child would ever credit the Baby Einstein videos for their child's intellectual curiousity.

And gifted children do ask for academic pre-schools and weekly trips to the museum, and very much enjoy spending hours in a small room being quizzed by an adult. (This may not be a good thing, but it is a real thing.)

I expected the book to examine the actual dilemma parents face--how much should the parent nurture the child's requests, and how much should the children be encouraged to "just go out and play" even though they resist? By dismissing the key element of the child's desires in this equation, Ms. Quart eliminates any value to her argument.

This book does nothing to help gifted children, nor to guide their parents or teachers.

A challenging book for parents.......2007-03-03

It is quickly evident that the author is too close to the issues she presents and that she is very bitter about her childhood. I also didn't care for the condescending attitude she takes about almost everyone she encounters in her research.

Unlike others reviewers, I thought she did come to a general conclusion, that gifted children generally benefit from gifted education programs but not the pressure of wearing the mantle of "prodigy." I especially appreciated the favorable description of Iles School in Springfield, Illinois.

As a parent of two gifted children, I found a lot of food for thought in this book: topics that led to self-reflection about my motivations and actions.

More Opinion Than Fact.......2007-02-27

As someone who lived (and, I guess, is still living) the life of a "gifted" person, I'm not terribly surprised by what I found in this book. Many of the problems held by gifted students originate not from parents but from bureaucrats--people who want to figure out how best to control their talents for profit. There isn't much profit for the parents themselves, so where's the profit going to come from? Other than those kids marked by stock brokers and scientists for high-paying jobs, what's left? Political profit, of course, and this is Quart's real goal. Quart simply oppresses her topic into non-existence unless it can produce the right kind of person that will be sure to vote the right way. Scrabble players, spelling bee kids, math geniuses...they're all weird at best and dangerous at worst, *especially* if they've been home-schooled or attend church. Competitors in chess are hyper-competitive, but (surprisingly?) kids participating in politically-charged poetry slams are "encouraging" and "supportive". She weeps for school districts that support the gifted and thereby thwart the "equal results" that certain political groups seek, yet cannot find anything but disdain for programs that support the results of all students simply (and clearly) because of the political party that happened to begin it. Her descriptions of her subjects are caricatured so badly that one cannot have any faith in the descriptions. And, as some have noted below, she has played loose and fast with those she quotes in order to make the right sort of case. If you have the ability to ignore or refute the author's opinions through basic critical-reading skills, you can get a basic idea of the sorts of issues faced by the gifted. If not, look elsewhere.

How do I feel about this book?..........2006-08-01

...I don't really know, that's why i rated it with 3, i'm not sure i liked it, but i'm not sure I disliked it. Different? yes, very different, very creative and original. The book starts ou very well, but half way thru it started to feel heavy and the more I read the more i wanted drop it but at the same, finish it. I guess it was too much in the same plate so i felt like at the end didnt make any sense or didnt come to a resolution, it was just sort of like a period of time on pages, i still wanteed to read some ending. It started out with one character that you get to know and then he died and another character is now starring. It was like Aldiss started writing and just adding more and more ideas without a trace of facts in the same story. But yes, even so, you want to read, it was a weird experience reading this book, i can't relly recomend it, but it's there. If you like this kind of books, go ahead read it, but dont expect too much.

Hothouse is so different - it is barely Sci-Fi.......2003-10-22

The novel Hothouse first came to my attention in the picture book/review "Alien Landscapes" by Robert Holdstock and Malcolm Edwards. The art and description contained therein inspired me to read Hothouse, as well as a few other classic sci-fi novels (e.g. Rendezvous with Rama by A.C. Clarke and Mission of Gravity by Hal Clement, both of which I highly recommend). I was not disappointed.

Hothouse is difficult to squarely categorize as sci-fi, as Aldiss does not project human achievement and technological evolution into a plausible future. Instead, he does so with biological evolution, moving mankind into the passive role of bystander. Plants have come to dominate the natural world, assuming the characteristics and ecological functions of the animal kingdom. But it is far from a utopian garden. The main characters are assailed with hostility every step of the way.

The book is an odyssey of sorts, with the main character, Gren, tossed violently about this very green world on a voyage of discovery, both internal and external. Aldiss seems to like this theme. The various plant forms which Gren encounters along the way will stir the imagination with their bizarre nature, although I disagree with another reviewer's comment that their introduction appears to be the only purpose for the book.

Aldiss leaves quite a bit unexplained in the book, which I suppose is my only criticism. But even then, it lends the text a sense of mystery which, when approached with the right perspective, is charming.

I thoroughly enjoyed the read.

Showcases his imagination.......2003-02-08

Of all the "New Wave" SF writers that emerged in the sixties and seventies, Brian Aldiss is probably the least flashiest and most consistent. His books have this sort of quiet confidence, as if he already knows they're unique and doesn't need to go about proclaiming it. Most of the time the trick is in the presentation. In this novel we have an Earth millions of years in the future, a planet that has stopped rotating and is thus half light and half dark, a planet where most of the animals have died out and plants have taken over, evolving into all sorts of weird lifeforms, all of which you have to read to believe. Humans are still around but most traces of civilization are gone, they live fairly nomadic and primitive existences. The biggest problem with this book is that the setup is just about all you get, while there is a plot of sorts, it's for the most part episodic and at best ramshackle, lurching from situation to situation. But it's Aldiss' vision of the future Earth, orbiting a sun soon to go nova, and a planet covered in all kinds of fantastic forms of life, that sustains the book. Every time you turn the page something new and bizarre greets you and I'm just amazed the man was able to think of all these things. Granted most of the plot is devoted to showing off these things but when then they're this consistently entertaining I'm not going to argue too much. Honestly there probably is some kind of allegorical aspect to the plot that I'm just missing because I'm too dense but hey, whatever. Fans of pure science probably won't be too thrilled because Aldiss' extrapolations of the far future seem to have little to do with actual science, but as I always say, don't let science get in the way of a good story. This is an absolutely fascinating story that ranks with his better works and while it's not his absolute masterpiece, it certainly deserves to be read.

Imaginative, but not engaging........2000-07-16

I'll give Aldiss credit for creativity -- this story of far future Earth is full of very imaginative landscapes, flora, and fauna. But there's not much else to recommend it. The speculations on the evolutionary history of Earth are a little too implausible to overlook. And the story line seems little more than a mechanism for introducing more outlandish creatures.

I expect it would be more enjoyable for younger readers, or those who don't demand that the science in their fiction be at least plausible.

As a last note, I should mention that I came across this book as one of Easton Press' "Masterpieces of Science Fiction" series. Given that it is apparently a classic, my viewpoint is perhaps in the minority.

Deep and challenging.......1999-01-26

Here is a fine example of the most adept application of a most adept imagination. In this novel Aldiss not only challenges many ecological issues, but blends them into a wonderful story of evolution, both of life as a whole, and of society. This is a must for any sci-fi/fantasy fan.

Book Description

The technological innovation and unprecedented physical growth of the cold war era permeated American life in every aspect and at every scale. From the creation of the military-industrial complex and the beginnings of suburban sprawl to the production of the ballpoint pen and the TV dinner, the artifacts of the period are a numerous and diverse as they are familiar. Over the past half-century, our awe at the advances of postwar society has softened to nostalgia, and our affection for its material culture has clouded our memories of the enormous spatial reorganizations and infrastructural transformations that changed American life forever.
Cold War Hot Houses casts a clear, even playful, eye on this pivotal time in history, examining topics as diverse as the creation of the interstate highway system and the shopping center, and the domestication of the national parks as well as the production of such seemingly mundane products as the drive-in theater, aluminum foil, and the king-size bed. The result is a vivid snapshot of American culture that still resonates today.
This beautifully illustrated collection of essays is based on a series of seminars focusing on the impact of the Cold War on the built environment, which was recently conducted at Princeton University by Beatriz Colomina. Colomina is editor of Sexuality and Space.

a nostalgic looking back.......2006-07-05

The book is a collection of essays that give us a frankly nostalgic look at American society during the Cold War. Now that the war is over, and the US won a largely bloodless victory, the passage of time has removed much (all?) of the tension and fears. All that is left is a safe nostalgia, burnished by the analysis offered in these essays.

So we see the changing sexual mores, epitomised by Hugh Hefner and his Playboy magazine, and extrapolated by its imitators like Penthouse. While the changing tastes in architecture and furniture are created and driven by Fuller, Eames and others. Much else is covered in the book. Mostly of the experiences of the middle and upper classes of American society. With relatively little coverage of the poverty and racial discrimination of the times.

Terribly Disappointed.......2004-06-01

This book, which was probably very good in the 1970's is woefully lacking in currently applicable information. Too much of the text is taken up by documenting projects that failed. A far better book on hydroponics, and worth every penny of the additional $8 cost, is "How-to Hydroponics, Fourth Edition" by Keith Roberto. While this book is supposedly updated as of 1999, it barely scrapes the surface of current hydroponic technology.

Absolutely superb introduction.......2000-05-08

Cannot recommend it more highly to survivalists and those interested in growing their own food year round inside a greenhouse. This book is one of the rare treasures I prize in my survivalist library and I sure hope my copy is intact after TEOTWAWKI - I may have it laminated.

Excellent do it yourself guide.......1999-12-09

I was an absolute beginner in hydroponics before reading this book. I have since planned a simple easy to use system for my need with his ideas and diagrams. VERY EASY TO DO. I am most interested in extremely small-scale hydroponics, which this book is perfect for. He outlines several homemade systems made out of spare parts and plumbing. One even fits on a windowsill. My favorite part is that the book is a reprint and he honestly brings his original theories and ideas up-to-date by sharing his 10 years of experience. The author is concerned with self sufficiency, so alternative energy sources are a big part of the plan. I plan on using his PVC pipe method to grow in my south facing windows in the winter. Wish me luck.

Summary: Excellent information on all aspects of small scale hydroponics.

Excellent handbook for hydroponic hobbists........1998-03-19

This book brought together honest and sometimes humorous information about hydroponics, greenhouses and the nitty-gritty of organic methods based on the authors own experiences.

Hothouses: Poems, 1889 (Facing Pages)
Maurice Maeterlinck
Manufacturer: Princeton University Press
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback

General | Poetry | Literature & Fiction | Subjects | Books

Book Description

On May 31, 1889, a young Belgian lawyer from a wealthy bourgeois family in Ghent published a book of 33 poems in 155 copies. Maurice Maeterlinck's legal career was floundering but his road to literary greatness had begun. Long overshadowed by the plays that later won him the Nobel Prize, Serres chaudes (Hothouses) nonetheless came to be widely regarded as one of the cornerstones of literary Modernism after Baudelaire. While Max Nordau soon seized upon Maeterlinck's--tumult of images--as symptomatic of a pervasive social malaise, decades later Antonin Artaud pronounced, "Maeterlinck was the first to introduce the multiple riches of the subconscious into literature."

Richard Howard's translation of this quietly radical work is the first to be published in nearly a century, and the first to accurately convey Maeterlinck's elusive visionary force. The poems, some of them in free verse (new to Belgium at the time), combine the decadent symbolism and the language of dislocation that Maeterlinck later perfected in his dramas. Hothouses reflects the influence not only of French poets including Verlaine and Rimbaud, but also of Whitman. As for the title, the author said it was "a natural choice, Ghent . . . abounding in greenhouses."

The poems, whose English translations appear opposite the French originals, are accompanied by reproductions of seven woodcuts by Georges Minne that appeared in the original volume, and by an early prose text by Maeterlinck imaginatively describing a painting by the sixteenth-century Flemish artist Pieter Brueghel.

A feat of daring power extraordinarily immediate and inventive, Hothouses will appeal to all lovers of poetry, and in particular to those interested in Modernism. Maeterlinck's enormous fame may have faded, but twentieth-century writers such as Beckett are still our masters who testify to its undying influence.

Impressive Addition to the Literature on Global Warming.......2005-12-26

I was very impressed with this book. Professor Lowe gives the clearest explanation I have read of the atmospheric chemistry changes behind the global warming crisis. The author completely demolishes the arguments of those who hold that this crisis is caused by variations in the orbit of the earth or by the fantasies of ecological extremists. The carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are at the highest point in the last 20 million years, and the author convincingly argues that it has become a moral imperative for the world community to make a serious response.

Much of the global warming literature is about the Northern Hemisphere with discussion about the rapidly warming Arctic, the recent hurricane disasters in the United States, and even the outbreak of malignant melanoma here in California. Therefore it is most helpful for the continent of Australia to be reporting in as well. And the dangers to that nation in terms of brushfires, substantially reduced water resources, and intense summer heat are fully documented. What is different about this book is the long list of practical proposals for reversing climate change. Not many global warming books emphasize architecture and public transportation. But if there are solutions available, these are two of the key components.

This is not a book for everyone. Those unfamiliar with Australian geography may feel lost in the place names. Political conservatives will not be happy about Professor Lowe's denunciations of the "rogue regimes" of Australian Prime Minister John Howard and US President George W Bush. Even I think that the author's antipathy toward automobiles is a bit overdone. But unless the warnings by Professor Lowe and others about impeding disaster are heeded, the next generation of global warming books may be about surviving the disaster which has already arrived.

Now that the Christian Coalition have been heard from (Roogs and Hakop), for those of you who EXPECT to see flashy, glossy Holywood Icons reflected in a book of Rolling Stone photographs, well...here it is, in all its gloss and glory. If you are looking for the TIME Magazine photos of death and devestation (which, evidently, Roogs and Hakop were...) then moove along little doggies.. *NOTE* I believe that is the first and ONLY time I have ever heard Angelia Jolie referred to as "ghoulish." Think about that when trying to decide if the reviewer has ANY taste in art/fashion/photography.

HOTHOUSE - a balmy book full of heat-seeking images that capture the essence of the assorted hotties we can't get out of our minds - is dedicated to the fetching principle that youth isn't NECESSARILY wasted on the young. Even to a feverish thirty-something writer, all the sweet birds and babes of youth on display within these pages at their most glowing, glamorous, intimate and flamboyant have become captivating, sometimes pulse-increasing, subjects of desire.
All of our lovely HOTHOUSE flowers - preserved for posterity by some of the world's greatest photographers - are seen in full bloom and stand deliciously at the corner where Youth and Pleasure meet and often hang out. These fin de siecle stars - pop icons in various levels of training and undress - appear to move on flying feet. Often they have been graced with other remarkable body parts as well. Turn the page and you'll likely find yourself feeling hot and not at all bothered.

Ok ... but.......2002-12-24

a little dissapointed in the book. Thought perhaps it would contain a little more useful information.

It focused a little too much on the religious side of homeschooling without considering that not everyone homeschools for religious purposes.

It was, however, encouring to hear that all of these kids came through the homeschooling process not feeling left out.

If you're looking for helpful info - look elsewhere. If you're looking for encouragement only, you'll be satisfied with this book.

Encouraging.......2002-08-30

I would recommend this book to any homeschoolers seeking encouragement as they transfer from ordinary home life to college or employment. It is filled with assorted stories of how the training and nurturing of teaching children at home greatly helps them to expand their borders instead of confining them as so many folks assume. I myself am a recent homeschool graduate, and I can add my story of how wonderfully blessed I am to have been homeschooled. I directly link my success so far at college and work to the principles and love of God I learned at home. I have seen that homeschooling is a heritage to reverence, not one to regret, and this book offers the testimony of 16 other homeschoolers to support the same premise.
