Hi everyone, teacher and also currently working on a PhD in education here. Your disagreements over the value of gifted education programs and approaches are because the value of those approaches depends heavily on their quality (both of the teacher and the program itself) and that quality is highly variable. Namaste.

I was placed into GT classes at grade 4 and breezed through it until high school. Then high school classes were also incredibly easy. College was also very easy for me. Sorry so many of you are so incredibly dumb

root beer posted:My daughter has reportedly scored in the 93rd percentile on her state math tests for fifth grade this year, but I’m not going to put her through anything that’s going to give her that “gifted kid” mentality because she does not need to end up like my useless rear end. Speaking as a kid who went to the gifted programs and grew up to be a teacher: Send your kid to do the enrichment activities, because otherwise she'll just sit in class bored as hell as the overworked teacher, spending all her energy on 39 other students but mostly the kid suffering from unmedicated ADHD and the kid who starts fires, looks at your daughter's work and says "great job, 100 percent" and that's all the teaching she gets for the day. Your kid only gets so much time at this age when her brain is plastic. Make the most of it. Simultaneously, minimize the amount of "that's great work, you're so smart!" praise she gets and instead tell her "that's great work, you worked really hard!". That's what I do, and I believe that it will help allay the "gifted kid" mentality you're concerned about. I am not a child psychologist, but I am an educator, and it's my theory that if you tell a kid they succeeded because they are smart, you are essentially telling them their success is due to an accident of genetics. This has two implications: 1) When you succeed, it's because of random serendipitous factors. You don't have any agency over it. 2) If you fail at something, or can't do something well, you just weren't born with the ability to do it. Oh well, them's the cards. Takeaway: you didn't really do anything to deserve your success. You were born better than other people in these ways, and worse than other people in others. Not picking up the piano easily and automatically? You're just not a pianist I guess. Might as well give up. I bet that defeatist mentality is pretty familiar to a lot of the g&t burnouts that populate these forums On the other hand, if you tell a kid that she succeeded by working hard: 1) This is something _you_ achieved, by your own actions, through your choices and effort. 2) If you fail at something, no big deal: just keep working at it. With enough time and effort you can do it. You aren't just born to suck at math or dancing or public speaking or whatever. Takeaway: you have agency and ability and should be proud of your accomplishments and not discouraged by your failures. Keep playing the piano and you will succeed! I will sometimes tell students that an idea they have is particularly clever or insightful, sure. But the vast majority of the praise I give them is always about the amount of time or effort or practice or iteration or refinement they put into their project. I think it's better that way.

Ugh, I’m sorry for contributing further to this derail but—blacksocks posted:Stuff about not enrolling my kid in enrichment courses Sagebrush posted:Same as above, and with some added advice—some I’ve read before but some new While I’ve been growing more cynical lately, coupled with my already pathological insularity, I do recognize that maybe getting some outside perspectives can be helpful, so thanks for that. Anyway, I’m kinda fighting myself over all of it, tbh. I went through that kind of stuff when I was a kid, but for the entirety of my adolescence and much of my young adult life, I was a loving useless wreck who just happened to get some college credit while I was in high school. But on the other hand, after wasting my time pursuing a degree in 3D animation and doing nothing with it or my life altogether, I went back to school in my mid/late 20s and had zero challenge with any of it until grad school, and that was probably attributed more to burnout. The real issue is that I may be irrationally predicting her childhood/adolescent trajectory with a ton of bias from my own experience, which was riddled with anxiety and depression from age 8, with signs present well before that; however, this has not been anything like her experience, and I’ve sworn not to be like my parents were with me in that respect and have open conversations about it. So yeah, I guess I am being overprotective. I just don’t want her to be like I was, spending all of my downtime in my room with my head down on my desk, in pain, unable to cry, hoping I could sleep overnight, and maybe not wake up. Add to this that my wife went through a considerable deal of trauma through her own adolescence, and you gotta understand where we may be coming from in our hypervigilance. All that said!, it’s a moot point anyway because she will not be attending a traditional middle school next year; she has been accepted to a school that is dedicated to the arts and injects creativity into every academic subject, so it’s not like I’m sheltering her from an extraordinary experience either. In any case, I think I would look into the creative thinking stuff if she were still going to the local district’s middle school because I realize it would be right up her alley anyway. The math on the other hand… she hates math, she gets serious math anxiety in spite of her proficiency. Basically, we told her that we were super proud of her, but we wouldn’t force her into anything she didn’t want to do. So this isn’t a total waste:

Lmao at making your kid think your a drat idiot by praising them for hard work when they did gently caress-all to achieve something because they're just good.

All I remember from my GT classes was watching Voyage of the Mimi instead of doing actual work. Not really sure what the point was, though I suppose the second series got me interested in Mayan stuff at least.

under 30s know about loss but are completely divorced from the original context and associated memes. none of them recognize "move past it and heal" as part of the bit

My kid is 11 and her friends briefly got into Homestuck, of all things. Coolguye posted:my 9 year old niece knows about loss. neither of her parents do. i was asked to explain. this happened two weeks ago. I wonder what's worse: KC Green's situation, where he created dickbutt but has no real way of monetizing it, or B^U creating Loss which is only famous because it is terrible.
