Abstract
The present paper deals with an oxymoron. It presents the findings of an interview study which investigated Greek gifted students’ perceptions of the Greek educational system; a system that does not recognise their existence and provides no special treatment for them. In this sense, it presents the voice of a non-existent, non-recognised part of the educational reality. The sample of the present study consisted of 10 talented students (high school and university) who have won national or international competitions in certain talent fields. The interview analysis showed that Greek gifted students did not feel at all compatible with Greek schooling. Not only were they bored, but they felt frustrated by its practices. They criticised many faults of the Greek school system and its practices from their own perspective, but they appeared to do it impartially, considering the common good rather than their own interest.
