[quote=Anonymous]As a parent, I find the fact that so many many people are sure their kids are gifted to be tiresome. OTOH, a kid who consistently tested in the top 1% and never had access to gifted programs, I found school to be a soul crushing bore. I had, for example, history and social studies teachers in middle school who read to us from the textbook. I always read the textbook during the first couple of weeks of class, then sat in the back of the room with a novel tucked in my textbook, raising my hand to answer questions when I couldn't stand waiting for someone else to any longer. I don't think there necessarily needs to be a different class or school, just an opportunity for kids who are ahead not to get yoked to the slowest kid in class. That's what SO many teachers don't seem to get.[/quote]
