Oh, yeah...being stuck in a gifted/talented class where things are actually interesting and fun doesn't do much for your rep with the other kids when you get back, either.
I was in the district talented students program from second through fifth grade. It meant spending two half-days a week at a different school! Whee!
Except...some regular teachers were great. Then there were the ones who marked me down because I didn't finish the Color The Pilgrim worksheet because I hadn't been there when it was handed out - I'd been deciphering codes and doing fake archeology digs and whodunits instead. Don't these kids understand how important it is to COLOR THE PILGRIM?
