HAHAHAHA that sounds like something I'd have done. "COME ON, GUYS, PAY ATTENTION! THIS IS COOL!"
I vaguely recall that they kept changing the name of the gifted programs because parents kept clamoring to get their kids in too. It never worked. And cramming other kids into the gifted classes is bad for everyone--for the gifted kids who are once again forced to slow down, and the other kids who are cool and great without being gifted who are expected to be something they're not. That's just not fair.
