i was deemed a gifted kid in 3rd grade neutralkid

wide ember
#

I always did well in school, but not good enough to be “gifted”

molten flume
#

thats prolly good

#

i got straight As before they put me in the gifted program

#

after gifted program i started getting Cs and Ds because i fucking hated homework

#

cuz the homework was actually hard

#

meanwhile i saw the regular kids only having to answer like 10 questions for homework while i'm out here with an assignment for a 10 page essay

#

like bruh grief

remote dust
#

yeah

#

they told me i was at a college level reading and comprehension when i was in like 3rd grade or 4th

#

and then BOOM i had to be in helper classes the rest of my life

#

#

i was almost put in gifted when i was in fifth grade, but i was like two points away on the test from qualifying. however, i’m grateful for that now. the kids in my year who are in gifted are all assholes

wide ember
#

i got into gifted in 2nd grade after missing the requirement by one point in first grade lol

#

now i'm fuckin stupid but gifted was so fun at the time

#

literallt all we did in the special classes was study art and make marshmallow towers and play on scratch

brittle cypress
#

lol thats what they did in my elementary too

#

i wish they let me retake the test. i woulda totally made it the second time. gifted would stand out to the colleges

#

oh well, im away from the assholes, its fine

wide ember
#

all gifted made me was a gay loser who doesn't know how to study

#

i was a gifted kid

#

i hate that they call it “gifted” tho, it made it as if all the other kids didn’t have their own gifts:/

#

i think they should change what it’s called

man im happy my school didnt have a gifted kid program

#

i always used to be the best in the class and some of my teachers would compare others to me asking them why cant they be more like me, i hated that

#

and now that im tired, cant finish all my homework and getting bad grades they compare me to my past self

my parents put me into extra math classes outside of school

#

did that 3rd-6th and i stopped when they made my school put me a year ahead in math

#

im still lowkey considered a gifted kid 😭

topaz ledge
#

Idk if im counted as gifted, just in the highest class in my year

fallow relic
#

yes ish ,, well my school said i could move up a grade but my parents said no bc socially it would be weird for me ,, and tbh im glad bc the class above me in my school os fucking awful and i dont want to be a part of that

#

in my first year of intermediate (middle school for all you americans) i was in what was called the “independent learning class” but everyone just called it the smart class bc that’s what it was, the next year they got rid of it which was stupid but yeah

wide ember
#

gifted kid program isnt a thing in my school, but im recognised as quite above average by my teachers and they accommodate by giving me extra work to push me more as of late, since my experience with school so far has rendered me useless at actually trying. dont really want to say that im a gifted kid but i guess i couldve counted as one

#

i feel kind of awkward saying yes

#

so idk

i was “advanced” reading-wise in like kindergarten and first grade, but after that they knew i was a dumbass, tho i was held back from starting school because i couldn’t bounce a ball and couldn’t tell my right from my left (still can’t, lmao)

This confirms my theory that tøp is hecka popular with burntout gifted kids tm

remote dust
#

ur right ur right

#

idk like i guess for kids w developmental disorders like me u get so excited as a kid abt being “better” and then BOOM ur the worst and most behind in the class

#

shit SUCKS

karmic gorge
#

yeah i was considered “advanced” for one hot second, and then they discovered the truth

remote dust
#

my mom told me how my grandma thought i was so so so smart and then disconnected from me once she realized i had autism 😭

#

i’m homeschooled but i’m doing all my classes dual enrollment and i’m gonna get my associates by the time i graduate so

I was not a gifted kid. I don't even know if there was a gifted kid program in my school. I was a special needs kid who aced all of my therapy sessions. People kept telling me I was smart. I took them too literally and nearly failed the few advanced courses I signed myself up for. Turns out people were probably just praising me for being average. At least that's my theory.

i was never ever a gifted kid. i have been diagnosed with adhd but now realizing there's a huge possibility i was misdiagnosed with adhd and i actually am autistic, or both. but yeah no, i was the kid who was pulled out of class to get extra help regularly and still very much struggle with school. i was advanced with only reading once i learned how to read but now im pretty far behind in just about everything and have been since about 7th grade. I'm struggling so hard to even try and get an autism diagnosis because of my insurance which just sucks but ykkk. I've never been considered one of the smart kids at all and probably never really will be, I've always been super behind and that's probably how it's gonna stay since I just struggle so much with school and I have for as long as I can remember
