When do you talk to to other kids if not during class? Lunch was for study group, where we didn't talk, and we didn't get free periods or anything because it was just more class.
But the gifted class also has kids in it who talk to you.
Not when the teacher thinks we need to be better behaved than the normal kids because we were smarter than them. Not when everybody in the class has parents that beat them for coming home with a B. Not when...
I just had a relatively normal class with extra projects and more advanced math lessons. It didn’t seem to have much of an effect on me, except for awakening an interest in the Aztecs that might have contributed to wanting to learn Spanish. It looks like that’s pretty standard from the study linked in this comment chain.
Ah, so it wasn't the same. The person I was responding to was saying their fully seperated stream didn't hurt them, but it sounds like yours was pretty integrated.
No assuming needed, we talked about it openly, before quickly getting shushed by the teachers.
Wild, maybe Canada does ours differently? I was in 2 different programs over the years but we still had lunch, free blocks and still shot the shit a bunch in class. And then sports and other extra curriculars too.
Yeah, it sounds like my school took it a lot more seriously. There was always this cloud of "If you fuck this up, you'll be one of the poors forever, so don't get out of line" hanging over us.
That, and going to the library to study didn't cost as much as extra-curriculars.
