Honestly, there has got to be a way to encourage “gifted” and “advanced” students to learn, explore, and challenge themselves that doesn’t include making education a freaking competition, pitting them against themselves and each other and leaving them with serious mental problems and fear of failure.
Haha, you misunderstand. What you’ve described is the brilliant (for them!) way the non-gifted are keeping you DOWN. Revolt, my children, my gifted ones!
