    I had a teacher like this in 6th grade math. There was 3 or 4 of us in the class who would fall asleep or get in trouble for talking and she finally had enough and kept us after class one day (recess was after her class). She gave us each a worksheet to do, but had grabbed the wrong copies from the machine and ended up giving us 8th grade papers. We were all done with plenty of time to spare.
    Instead of getting upset, she put us in the corner of the room (too late in the year to move us to a different class), and would give us honors worksheets to do while she taught the rest of the class. Then when they were doing their worksheet, she'd teach us what she was teaching her honors class. We were all put in the correct level math the next year; two of us were put in other honors courses as well, like English. Not all kids that "act out" do it because they intend to disrespect; some do it because they're in the absolute wrong class and are bored.

      After moving from OK to SC and entering the 4th grade, I practically didn't learn anything new until the 7th grade. The only class I excelled in was a go-at-your-own-pace math class.
      It basically ruined me as a good student and I've been a somewhat poor student ever since.
      No A's from the 7th grade until freshman year in college. I graduated with a BSEE in 4 years when most took 5.
      Interestingly, my grades continued to improve until I finished graduate school with a 3.4. Not great, but pretty good for a still poor student.

      It seems that if our brains work close to their maximum capacity, they "tire" quickly.
      And exceptionally gifted people not only go very far ahead of the others, but sometimes go too far.
      It is hard for us humans to accept our limits and admit there is so much we DON'T know.
      I have had many moments in my life when my mind felt like it was unlocked and comprehending so much of what I normally didn't comprehend, like it got switched from snail speed to light speed. Some of those moments are the "aha" moments when we suddenly realize something, but in my case I'm talking about quantum physics, the nature of the mater and the size of and the power in the Universe.

    I didn’t interpret a mean teacher. I think the teacher recognized she had a student in her class who was a more advanced than her other students and was bored so as a good teacher would, she challenged her. And I think the nod and smirk she gave was more of an encouragement and “it’s ok if you don’t know” and maybe an internal acknowledgment of having pushed the student too far.. until she answers the question.

(2) Chris Evans and the entire cast and crew for the film adopted a pet from the animal shelter they filmed at. Chris named his dog ‘Dodger’ after the dog who stars in the animated film ‘Oliver and Company.’ (3) Mckenna Grace packed a stuffed seal with her for her travels that’s been in her family for over three decades, the stuffed seal even makes an appearance in the film. The seal’s name is Dee Dee. (4) On set, the cast and crew all had a swear jar that they were required to pay $5 per curse word and $10 per ‘F’ word used. According to Mckenna, Chris still owes money to the jar. According to Chris, he’s ‘In deep.’

    Teacher's vary a lot in their approach to 'gifted' children. I had one child start kindergarten able to read books, but still spent all of Kindergarten with the rest of the class learning their "ABCs". Some teachers put in extra work to provide appropriate and challenging material to "gifted" students, while others view them as an inconvenience, as they was to focus on providing a standard lesson plan that caters to the 'average' student, and spend any additional effort on improving the performance of their struggling students.
    I also have another child that was was evaluated as being a two years ahead in the 'average' math level when in Year 1 but who then spent the next 5 years of primary school doing the same grade level math exercises as the rest of the class (simply got everything done in about 1/4 the allotted time and sat around bored for long periods). Fortunately we have a system of "selective high schools" in our state (NSW) so both boys ended up with a similar ability peer group and the lessons/teaching that was suitable for their needs.
    Back in my day there were very few such 'selective' high schools, so I spent all of high school cruising along in the "A" class with minimal effort and got into university with absolutely atrocious study skills and levels of application. Ended up doing OK (in the end), but I'm pretty sure the education system didn't maximise my potential utility to society ;)
    I always find it strange that the academic focus of government schools seems mostly concerned about attempting to bring up the bottom 50% of students to attain "average" levels of performance, but often takes a "they'll do fine" attitude to catering to the needs of gifted students. In contrast, other areas of child/adolescent development focus much more of maximizing the potential of the most "gifted" children - examples would be in the areas of sports, music etc (eg. sports coaches are much more focussed on ensuring their "star players" excel than they are on bringing the performance of below average participants up to 'average' levels of performance. Go figure.

      good point about the sports/music even art teachers. Teachers in general suck at their job. They just are not prepared to be a good teacher. They are trained to be a teacher that sucks. It might be the school systems fault, the fact that classes are made of too many kids (30 is standard in my country) or maybe kids are badly raised by their parents. But it's like they say "you got to play the hand you've been dealt" and teachers should do with what they have, and look for internal reasons why they suck... if they even realize they suck at their job in the first place. and btw. teachers suck for both gifted and average students. It is sad when potential goes to waste but average students are more important to society just because they are the majority by far.

      @wealthelife Před rokem +1

      @@nebula3415 Probably true. I only went to a normal public high school (non selective) and it seems like my boys enjoyed going to selective HS more than I enjoyed non-selective HS and it also seems that bullying in selective HS is less common than I had found it to be in non-selective HS (due to quite a few of the half of the student population with below average IQ often amusined themselves by annoying the 'smart kids' endlessly) (but that might be due to changes in public schools in general during the past 40 years). They seemed to enjoy the educational experience, although they didn't seem to spend much time on homework/assignments (my youngest is currently in Yr10 and spends about 6 hrs/day gaming vs 1 hr/day doing homework/studying -- but he is in the 'top half' of the selective HS in all subjects, so I can't complain about his study habits if he gets decent academic results.
      If they were highly motivated and *wanted* to be more challenged in the subject they are good at, they might find the curriculum a bit pedestrian. But as long as it isn't a mind-numbingly boring as I found non-selective HS it seems OK. Although my eldest quite enjoyed computer science, so did a lot of extracurricular activities (did SDD by external study in Yr 11, did a first year uni CS course at UNSW while in Yr 12 etc.)

      In reality most schools do placement tests and/or questionnaires to parents about general levels. It isn't uncommon for some parents (think Asians) to have already run their kids through pre-kindergarten, academic camps, or home schooled their kids through basic math or even reading -- plus general issues such as language and such.

Mack went up the slide…” I started to show my annoyance and the teacher said something to me about being respectful and the next thing I know I’m angrily flipping the pages and reading the whole book with increasing intensity which only took about 20 seconds. Then ranting about how you don’t even need to know all the words because there was a clear pattern in every single book and the next sentence is obvious. It was a scene.

    2. Teacher who identifies the child as gifted
    3. The child solves formulas and works with the best of the best
    Realistic portrayals of giftedness:
    1. The child is ahead in math and reading, but has gaps in knowledge.
    2. Teachers don't identify the child as gifted because they don't do their work on time or forget their homework
    3. The child might have autism, adhd, ocd, anxiety or learning disabilities that could interfere with and mask their giftedness
    4. They have a higher risk of dropping out of school completely or failing
    5. If the child is appropriately identified, the gifted program may not be adequate for their learning needs.

When she asks "All right then. Well, what is 57 + 135?" she shakes her head in a sassy way that looks like she expects Mary to fail and be embarrassed in front of everyone.
      A minute before that, Ms. Bonnie impatiently waves Mary to stand up and sarcastically (yes) says "These questions are for you because you're so advanced." I say sarcastically because every other thing she says and does shows that she does not believe Mary can do two- or three digit addition.
      Later on, the condescending woman suddenly becomes the teacher with a golden heart who helps Uncle Frank support Mary. Maybe she just wants to shag up with him.

Math is the only thing you will EVER learn that follows a consistent, logical set of rules without exceptions. Compare that to Biology, English, History, Geography, and even sports that are full of exceptions, nonsense, and sometimes outright contradictions. Part of that is due to the federal government changing the Math curriculum in the late 50' and early 60's to the "New math" in order to rush out a lot of engineers for the space program. They needed well trained "grunts" (aka computers) to do the calculations. The system was never fixed after they broke it.

    My 3rd grade teacher had the same look on her face because I didn't "show my work" doing math. I asked her why she expected me to "show her something" that I didn't have to do? I told her she was just making me do extra work for no reason. She then informed me it was to help me find my mistakes. I asked her ..."Did I make any mistakes?" to which, she answered "No". It was an interesting exchange with a teacher at that age for sure.

    I grew up having difficulties to learn. Then, when I went to the university I had a professor who believed in me and challenged me. It was with him that I discovered that I could remember an incredible amount of information and once I had it all in my mind, that I could reason things almost no one else in the classroom could understand. For one test, I memorized a whole book and realized that it was something extraordinary because of a classmate not believing that I was able to spill it back page by page. At some point in my life, I played games with people from whom I asked that they would give me a list or random things and then I told them what the items on the list were and years later they came back with the list and I was able to tell them the items in order, backwards, the items' numbers and having been told the numbers, the items that belonged to each number.
    No one would ever know how much I suffer growing up feeling that I was stupid, when all I needed was someone to believe that I wasn't and to help me.

    I've always been fascinated by the different ways human minds work. I've been watching humanity now for more than six decades, and am convinced that people like Einstein don't change the world because they're "super-geniuses." They change our ways of thinking because THEY think differently -- out of the box.

    Don't know why people are villianizing the teacher. She wasn't "talking down" on the child. She was trying to teach her a lesson on good behaviour and not act out. Kids aren't exempt from receiving a penalty on disrespect. A teacher is there to educate as well as set an example and punish a student if need be.

      So her method of embarrassing this little girl in front of her peers is valid? I don't think so. She could've said that you shouldn't be saying that since it's mean etc but embarrassing somebody in this way is pretty mean and though Mary's comment was inconsiderate so was the teacher's behaviour but as a teacher you should know better than a first grader.

    My son is well ahead in math. He had picked up 4tg grade math while in 1st grade. Being back in person in school, he has been called a nerd so often that he refuses to keep doing it.
    The mental anguish, behavioral health stuff is real. I wish it wasn't. I can see many kids just ending up in a worse place if they were gifted. But this is humanity we have created...we reward and exalt the worst of us and vilify those who have a brain.

    Actually, gifted children like her do exist. In college I had a differential equations upper division course and in the class was a 8 year old boy who was taking the course. He was so young when he sat down in the auditorium style folding chair his feet didn't touch the floor. The room had to be an auditorium because one equation could take up all 3 large blackboards mounted on 3 sides of the room. I befriended him that semester and he was a normal 8 year old except for his very gifted math-sense. He was also very polite and well mannered unlike how the little girl in this movie,

    I was a gifted kid. Not a prodigy. In the 80s and my parents put me in the right schools. My mom was a college professor and I was allowed to take college classes and HS. I thankfully had a bunch of siblings that kept me grounded in life. Ironically I was a bit of a wild child, partying and clubs with my brother who was 4 yrs older than me. It was the 90s, you hung out with older people. I'm grateful my parents let me do what I wanted and I'm a lawyer with several degrees but I'm successful and give back to the community. I got a degree in psychopathology which I love as I volunteer to work with victims of violent crime.
    I'm not autistic or on any spectrum. I do have a degree in Math just in case all else failed. I love learning, I'll always be curious and I feel sorry for those that don't. I'm extroverted and played sports and was on a cheer squad. I'm full of sarcasm and dark humor. My dad was my rock, my mom my torturer. It really does count how you raise your kids. Oh and I believe in working for what you get, no tantrums and you get it.
