Yeah, that sounds wild. Ours were opt in programs with some testing etc. Coursework was hard but I still hardly had any for homework etc.

Got to skip a few university classes as ours counted for them though which was useful. And yeah, the more I think about that grad class (decades ago now) the more impressed I am with what some of those folks went on to do.

Nice, it sounds like you went to a good school or a normal one outside the US.

I'm specifically talking about gifted programs in the US. Like most of our education system, they're generally shitty unless you're in a high privilege area in which case you're probably going to a private school anyway.
