Abstract	Some children and adults have a creative life spark, and in a spontaneous environment, they are able to demonstrate a spirit of "free play" in generating ideas, planning, and implementing projects, or just thoroughly entertaining others with their wry humor and curiosity. In Joan Freeman's thought-provoking article, "A Quality of Giftedness," she calls this a "spark of life," and she provides examples of student behavior she observed while assessing them which demonstrates that spark. This commentary addresses several points regarding Freeman's stance on the acceleration of gifted students in a discussion of the merits of acceleration such as the need for using an individualized approach in each consideration of acceleration, as well as providing a mentor for the accelerant and differentiation of the accelerated curriculum. [This article is a response to Joan Freeman's "A Quality of Giftedness" (EJ1149563).] (ERIC).
