I'm watching a few minutes of that video, and I've found a delicious parody of (I think) Jaime from MythBusters. And Myth #2, I feel your pain. The teachers in the elementary schools just didn't understand! I didn't even learn anything! Everything I learned was from the internet to compensate for the lack of curriculi planning they had for gifted students. Myth 3 is basically the story of my middle school life (in elementary grades, they either said I was too smart or too dumb)! Myth 5 is very similar for my life now, because my teachers allowed me to go into an advanced writing group for summer, and he let me stay in the seventh grade class so I could learn seventh grade things. (I through a fit in the 6th grade class, and nobody really liked me there!) Myth 7 was so me in 5th grade. I got mostly B's and C's, and my 5th grade teacher said I didn't "adapt" to "normal people things". Myth 8 is not only me, but it is HILARIOUS! The stupid observers were all like, "She can't be gifted because she has ADHD and Aspergers!" yet I was, at the time, at a high school level in writing, and in reading, a late middle-school level. It's hilarious because that boy bursts in when he was making those STUPID COMMENTS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Take that, Board of Ed! (I also know someone who is suffering from ADHD, yet is practically a genius!) Myth 9 is entirely true: middle school is suffering from lack of challenging courses. I mean, I want to study Psychology now, not wait until I'm a high-schooler! This thing is great, and gifted children are starved of resources. BELIEVE IN GIFTED PEOPLE! BELIEVE!
