Being a gifted child in an average school is tedious and awful and does a lot more harm than good. Group projects are hell. Education is not one size fits all.

As someone who was a gifted student in an average school I can corroborate this assessment, LOL. I remember having to rewrite pieces I wrote for group projects because none of my peers could understand them. I have boundless gratitude for the fact my parents chose to homeschool me relatively soon.
The positive side of this is that it teaches kids to expect other people to try to make them do more work without more reward, and that those other people will try to take the credit for it. Im sure its inspired many smart kids to go into business for themselves.
