Imho the gifted program is where you send smart kids to lose their social skills.

IDK about that, the gifted kids at my school seemed to have their shit together the most out of all of us and always seemed like the adults in the room. I don't know what they were getting that the rest of us didn't but I sure could have used some of it... I always felt like I was missing things that came so easily to them.

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.

Not really though. You can socialize sure, but you don't get practice socializing with people that different from you. You're inherently socializing in somewhat of a filter bubble.

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 every gift program separates them out.

Not every gifted program integrates, it's obvious I'm talking about the ones that do separate.

[-] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

[-] turdcollector69@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Obviously, I did not think that. You can read that as all programs and not some programs. Obviously.

Bro your reading comprehension is cooked

[-] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

The fuck is wrong with you? I don't deserve to be insulted because you thought what you wrote was clear. Fuck off.

[-] turdcollector69@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Bullshit. You're mealy mouth ignorant ass is trying to cover up the fact that you didn't know that some programs are integrated. You didn't write what you think you wrote and you're too weak to admit it bro.

[-] turdcollector69@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Bro just learn to read it's ok I'm not judging you

[-] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Condescension. Nice. You're a grade A asshole. And you nothing about the topic. I don't give a fuck. But you gas lighting me is not okay. Get with it.

[-] turdcollector69@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Lol I really don't give a shit what you think.

You should really consider touching grass little bro, you obviously care about me and my opinions way too much.
