former gifted kid chat

@Whats_Up_Its_Brooklyn @PatienceKills

what kind of gifted kid were y'all. were you the 'im a prodigy in everything but math' kid, the 'only math and science' kid, teacher's pet, etc….

i was everything but math and also i was the gifted kid that teachers either ADORED or DESPISED and it was all based on whether i liked them or not

I was gifted in everything until 5th grade and all the teachers hated me. My parents would spank attack me, but we don't need child service here if I got bad grades which were A- and lower. I mean I guess I'm an average student now… thats such a lie

I got 1st flute for states, won some writing competitions, but that's about it.

'you are smart, you just don't want to admit it' is something i hear constantly and is so funny to me considering i don't know anything

also do you ever get the like. fuck ykno where you were really good at bullshitting everything and you wonder if that's the only reason you ever actually passed classes let alone that high?

also shout out to all the teachers that let me sit on my desk instead of at it

my people

oh geez dude. my parents were just super proud. i feel bad now though, for constantly letting them down even though they're so proud i managed to get a c on any of my classes

oh i know! all you gifted/former gifted kids with bad parents! i'm adopting you now and no you cant stop me

Bruh, I grew up in a catholic middle school which just shut down last week.
Those writing competitions I mentioned earlier were about Religion
I am the biggest atheist in my class
I can't believe I bullshited my way to 1st place its actually funny.

All my elementary teachers hated me so much like I would get in detention for things that were so trivial.
When I was in 1st grade I got in detention for spilling water on the teacher's dice
In 2nd, I was framed for something I didn't do
I was always separated from the class, never got the chance to interact with anyone until 5th

I was apparently really good with language at first, learned to read at the same time i learned to walk, and picked up sounds pretty fast.
That disappeared quickly though, as shown by my weekly duolingo report
Then suddenly poof I can draw pretty decently, but nothing else

See the plus side about this is that people still think that I'm smart and I get payed to do their homework. It's honestly a great income

My school tried out standardized testing for students online and it was the most bullshit thing ever, Like no one had the same questions, it was different for everyone and it would give you the randomist shit. Like the dumbest kid would get 100 because they got 1st-grade math while I over here got High School Geometry

fun stories from sage's years of school before dropping out

in fourth grade i went to a gifted class in a school i had no business going to. my teacher was a bitch who's mentor always subbed. one day i couldn't do the math worksheet bcs ykno, bad at it(i literally went to a special class for it that year but that's a different weird story) and so the sub told me that i couldn't eat my lunch until i did. nearly a full worksheet. she let me go get my lunch(rip to the nuggets) and then made me sit with it in the hall and work on the math that had me in tears. honestly thank god for isaac if it werent for him i wouldnt have gotten the five minutes to eat

in seventh grade i was hated by the security guard and detention monitor and my social studies teacher. the latter gave me detention for telling a kid to shut up while i was presenting because he would NOT stop talking. the detention monitor gave me a detention but i have no clue why lmao. also yelled at me and told me my green day american idiot shirt was inappropriate and to cover it. the seventh grade science teacher later told me he loved my shirt

eighth grade i brought a tiny knife to school. i used it to sharpen my pencils because i didnt have a sharpener and was weird. my arch nemesis(allegedly i'm not sure if he did or not but i'd bet money) ratted on me. i was pulled aside by the choir teacher, told her i had used a broken pair of scissors. when she asked to have them i was momentarily panicked and SOMEHOW remembered the razor blade i had found in my dad's car and taken because sharp. i pulled that out and was like 'okay, i lied, because i didnt want to get in trouble for having this…' she sent me on my merry way and then i was pulled out of algebra by the SECURITY GUARD(also helped further my badass rep) and was then subsequently suspended for a whole day after spinning a story about finding the blade in the hall and picking it up so no one stepped on it or took it for bad purposes

We've done online for years now and works fine for us. Huh.

Idk, since it was a catholic private school, we followed a different curriculum or some shit. I honestly have no idea

I panic because of the pattern of the circles.
Like if I got 5 B's in a row, I knew something was up even though they were all probably correct.
I think I got like an above-average for standardized testing

my siblings all do online, though my sister wants to go back to public. i did online, failed nearly every class for two years, went back to public for my sophomore year of hs, and then decided to drop out two weeks from the end of the year
