Gifted and Talented

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Does anyone else's school have this at a high school level?</p>

<p>When I asked another forum, they said "No. But we had it during elementary and middle school."</p>

<p>IMO, I'd say my gifted classes are more "elite" when compared to an honors class, but when the option was available I took AP.</p>

<p>It was basically the same group of kids (about 20) in different sets of about 8. So it was mixed up a tad. And I've had a share of "regular classes" so I'm not a complete recluse...</p>

<p>I'm in talented (visual) art, too. There's no AP art.</p>

<p>I wish we had a G&T program. Honors classes don't cut it for me, and while I'm taking all the AP and SUNY (State Uni. of NY offered through the local community college) classes I can, I still wish I got challenged more... I had it in elementary school and in 6th grade, then there were just advanced classes.</p>

<p>My school is all Gifted and talented...</p>

<p>I would love a tough concepts and such class with easy homework. I get most of the time easy AP work but ridiculously tedious projects about nothing useful. I find no reason to wake up in the morning. At times I wish I was dead but I fear death more than anything. A paradoxical situation I live in.</p>

<p>Technically my school uses selective admissions to attract only gifted and talented. How true that is...your guess is as good as mine.</p>

<p>yes i have it at my high school</p>

6

<p>Nah, we just have remedial, on-level, honors, and AP. We had it in middle school and elementary school though.</p>

7

<p>No, my elementary school has it and it stops in middle school with Directed, Merit and then Honors.</p>

8

<p>They call it honors here, but no gifted/talented.</p>

9

<p>Regular, Accelerated, Honors, and AP
Then unofficially after AP, college-level classes. Ex. Multivariable Calculus/Differential Equations, Molecular Biology, Linear/Abstract Algebra</p>

<p>NOPE.
freshman year we met once a week, and talked about college and stuff, but budgets were cut and the schedule was changed.
we all have the same guidance counselor, but that doesn’t count for anything…</p>

<p>Reviving 3 year old threads is fun :)</p>

<p>Not…</p>

<p>HATERS GONNA HATE</p>

<p>I think it’s pretty interesting, because three years ago I actually did have gifted education, but state budgets were cut and now my public school treats gifted kids and kids that are capable of achieving more, just like everyone else. This whole No Child Left Behind business has made all of us standardized, and any outliers are left to fend for themselves.</p>
