I don’t think it’s the gifted classes doing that, it’s more helicopter parents forcing there kids to spend all there time after school studying or with tutors etc. Instead of hanging out or engaging in more social after school activities like sports.
You can be just as social in a gifted class as a regular class, you can’t be as social at mathnasium as playing soccer.
It’s not even smart kids, it’s usually just average kids who have overly involved parents doing most of the work for them.
The majority of “gifted” programs just double the workload and run half a grade ahead.
I’d never put my kid on one even if they were actually smart because separating them out and endlessly bullshitting them about the future just creates raging narcissists with self-esteem issues.
Not everyone knows that there are integrated programs. Integrated programs are new. Most people’s experience would be with a segregated group. Nothing in your comment suggests that you knew there were integrated programs.
It was not obvious that you knew this. If you said, “I’d only put my kids in an integrated program” and not “I’d never put my kids in one” that would have made it obvious.
Imho the gifted program is where you send smart kids to lose their social skills.

Not every gift program separates them out.
Not every gifted program integrates, it’s obvious I’m talking about the ones that do separate.

You’d think it would be obvious that I’m talking about the programs that separate kids out by saying “they separate kids out.”
There are programs that don’t do that, cool, I’m obviously not talking about that.
Obviously, I did not think that. You can read that as all programs and not some programs. Obviously.
Bro your reading comprehension is cooked
The fuck is wrong with you? I don’t deserve to be insulted because you thought what you wrote was clear. Fuck off.
