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.

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.

[@drdotter]

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.

[@MonkeyGami]

Inconsistent writing and/or directing. In this scene, Ms. Bonnie acts like a typical mediocre teacher who assumes that all her children cannot possibly know what 17 + 15 is. 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.

FUN FACTS ABOUT ‘GIFTED’ (2017) (1) In the film, there is an assortment of complex math equations to be solved, for Mckenna to remember them for her scenes, Mckenna and her mother put together a song for her to remember them. (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.’

Biggest lesson of my life.

[@ralphmorgan6130]

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.

[@likesgymnastics5767]

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.

[@nebula3415]

I would like to make a point about selective high schools, at least in my experience they do not provide adequate levels of challenge as they are still restricted to being not far off the curriculum, especially in mathematics. (I go to one of the very top selective schools.)

[@ralphmorgan6130]

@@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.)

[@nebula3415]

In reality most schools do placement tests and/or questionnaires to parents about general levels.

How you know it's a hollywood portrayal of giftedness: 1. Savant like abilities and/or profoundly gifted characters (which, btw, are so rare that it's less than .01% of the population) 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.

​@@brianaguilar8283 I think you misunderstood my point. Rainman (while it did have its flaws) illustrastes what savant syndrome is: someone with disability (like intellectual disability, autism, etc) who has an outstanding ability to do something. IE: quick calculations, playing any music from memory without training, etc. It's extremely rare (1 in 1m) and not well understood. It is not the same thing as high IQ. Someone with high IQ will grasp new information with few repetitions and use patterns to learn new information. But Hollywood always shows giftedness or high intellect as "savant syndrome' because they dont' really understand either.

The mom, however, committed suicide when her daughter was a baby. The grandmother is obsessed with results and pushed her own daughter to the point of suicide. Her uncle decided to give her as much of a normal childhood as he could. Being the one who is raising her. His own sister was also gifted and he saw what happened to her.

During Chemistry class in my junior year of high school I pretty much just read or did other things, sitting in the back, not bothering anyone. The teacher hated me and refused to approve my taking AP Chemistry in my senior year. I went to the front office to complain and they called her in. She said she didn't think I was "suit to such an advanced course", the Principal asked what grade I was carrying, she tried to deflect and I interrupted saying "Sir, I have a 100% grade on everything in the course for the year so far." Yet the bitch still refused to approve it and the spineless Principal wouldn't override her.

Similar story in high school Algebra class. I read science fiction books during most of the class - and aced the class. This was a new teacher and she quite teaching after that because she could not handle a student like me. I was not exceptionally gifted; but did graduate college as an engineer with high honors due to my grades, and took a lot of extra math classed just because I was interested in math (turns out I was one class short of a math minor - had I known I would have taken another math class).

No, most people are idiots! It annoys me no end when I hear "Math is hard (whine)!" Math is not hard, not even Calculus. It is just taught terribly and children have been given a pass for decades by using that line. 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.

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.

This was my daughter at that age. I live in Florida where teacher pay is tied to classroom performance. The minute they discovered my daughter was profoundly gifted she became a trade commodity between the teachers. It took years of fighting with the schools to get her a proper education. It was a constant fight, almost a daily one. The fight ended when she turned 15 and went off to college. Even that was a fight with the public school. But the college accepted her without hesitation and gave her a full scholarship. She graduated her undergraduate with 2 degrees and was the class valedictorian. She now working on her PhD.

But in our times, where college and universitet are in practice open to all, its usually the mediocre ones whom become teachers, the bright ones and hardworkers, proceed into professionals or scientists...

As a child i was gifted at maths. However i was weak on subtraction and that worried me. I looked around and all the other kids seemed to be confident doing subtraction there I was worrying. I pondered on it for some time I was 6 at the time. I suddenly worked out the solution. I was very fast at addition and if you took the subtraction answer and added to the subtraction amount it would equal the initial amount. So suddenly it became very easy for me as i could instantly check my results. One day the teacher tested all 30 kids in the class on subtraction, 7 kids had one set of anwsers (I was one of the 7) the other 23 had identical answers. As a test the teacher told the class the seven kids had it wrong. Four of them immediately accepted this two others and me argued the point until one by one the others accepted this point. I was 6 i argued the point for 20 minuites before breaking down into tears. Then the teacher revealed i was correct and this was a test. Sometimes the teachers can be quite mean.
