Must me nice having the opportunity. I was stuck in a rural school without other options relearning the same content every 2–3 years for no reason with no budget for the special needs kids listed as “gifted”.



And the teachers wonder why you 'are so bored'.


I was too busy being in various forms of ‘time out’ for ‘acting up’ out of boredom to be in class enough. Eventually I just gave up by age 11 and just doodled in the back of the room knowing there was nothing I could do to change my situation.
