I was thinking about gifted classes today and I realized I knew nothing about other school's gifted programs.
I am "gifted" in writing and reading. I don't know how they determined this. I kind of remember a test when I was in second grade where I just read this lady a story about early America. Apparently that was the test. I don't think they tested everyone so I'm not sure how I was chosen since there were plenty of people with high grades.
I was in the gifted program for five years. Apparently my school doesn't have a highschool program so last year, my freshman year, was my first year without gifted. It was ok, but I felt like there was some weird insider thing I was missing out on.
My first years of gifted were called "Enrichment" and focused on marine biology? Which makes no sense to me. Then they grew to become more reading/writing oriented.
What is the gifted program like at your school? Does it carry through highschool? Pros? Cons?
