[quote=Anonymous]It isn't the responsibility of intellectually gifted children to "set a good example" or to make other children feel better about themselves by "mingling." When I was a kid, they took all the gifted kids in our district and put them at the same school. It was heaven for us. Most of us had been bullied at our previous schools for being nerdy know-it-alls and only caring about boring/weird stuff. When they brought us all together, we could finally be ourselves and we finally had real friends. All of us were so much happier, and our non-GT peers did not miss us. Of course, my district didn't have an inflated GT program with parents paying tutors and coaches to get their kids in. You were either truly gifted, or not. I can see where Ffx's AAP program comes off as elitist because the rich and powerful parents so often lobby to have their kids included when they don't really belong.[/quote]
