[quote=Anonymous]Eh, I think they are worthwhile. I have a 152 IQ and was truly, truly bored in class in elementary school, despite having been moved up a grade. Gifted classes were wonderful -- but I can't imagine most kids having the attention span or ability to do most of the work we did in those classes. We did things like write computer programs and decrypt encoded messages when I was 8 years old. I just don't know if that sort of stimulation is required for kids who are having trouble with multiplication tables and spelling. It's like asking a normal person to run a marathon -- it's a challenge that people in top condition can take on, not exercise for everyone. I am sure this will be an unpopular opinion, and I'm sure not every gifted program was as rigorous as the one I was in.[/quote]
