    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.

            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.

                    That wasn’t an insult was being factual.

                    You couldn’t tell that I was talking about the groups that are separated out when I explicitly say “they are separated out.”

                    Bro, that is cooked ass reading comprehension.
