[quote=Anonymous]I'm older Gen X (closing in on 60). I was gifted in grade school in terms of reading and writing. Other than being sent to a classroom down the hall for the next grade up for the reading and writing unit, I was in the classroom with a mix of everyone and they with me. That meant I could help my classmates who were struggling with reading and writing, and the classmates who were good at math could help me. Math is where I struggled. I knew which classmates to ask for help, lol. That was the 1970s education model. It worked out well. Everybody in the classroom had a sense of their strengths and weaknesses, and we helped each other. We were all in it together. There wasn't built-in segregation like gifted programs that drove a wedge between the kids. The gifted and the not gifted coexisted together in the same room. There was no such division back then. We need to go back to that. [/quote]
