The difference between most GT and Standard classes lies in your ability and willingness to put in extra work.
Half the kids in the standard classes just want to skate along as easily as possible. Why stress and work hard when you get the same exact outcome in the end? It's not like they want to go on to college, so why work hard now?
It's not that different in the workforce in many places.
Isn't this basically the premise of Idiocracy?
No the premise of that is that a totally average servicemember in every way is forgotten about in an experiment and is unconscious for 500 years, only to awaken with his prostitute experiment mate, as the two smartest people on earth. A documentary.
In my defense, Ft worth was a big town
¿Por que no los dos?
Small town woes, lol.
That's what every Balzac novel is about
Gifted And Talented was just segregation with extra steps.
You could buy your way in. You could be placed in the group by referral, without any testing. We had a developmentally disabled kid in our GT class, because his parents were rich and GT offered your kid far more resources than the standard school program.
The lowest common denominator of GT programs wasn't IQ or GPA or number of spelling bee wins, but address and family income.
Good for him
Jesus, there's some real intellectual elitism being displayed in this thread. Like I understand that the American education system is shitty and a large portion of the population is just functionally literate, and I understand the frustration of having to deal with those types of people and having to explain things to them. But, that's one thing, it's another completely different thing to call them idiots or see them as lesser. They're most likely not idiots, it probably just means they has less help and/or less experiences than you did as a kid to better understand some of the things you did. You should never look down upon someone for being less intelligent or less educated than you. Those things are not the entirety of what make up a person's worth. There's things like creativity, emotional intelligence, etc. Everyone deserves the same base level of respect, and if you think you're the smartest person in a room bar none, you're actually the idiot.
Were?
That’s a me, retardando
Felt this really hard as someone from the Philippines (which is currently having an education crisis) and whose intelligence was glazed too often lmao
