Click-bait or not: as a former teacher of gifted children--I'll just say that one of the job requirements should be having a sense of humor and an ego that's not entrenched in always being right. I thought it was great fun to work with kids, many of whom were much brighter than I, because of their agile minds. And yes, they always catch mistakes. So what?
One of the best things about gifted kids, IME, is that most of them were quite compassionate/empathetic and really just wanted a teacher to "get it" about them. That drive for accuracy is a gifted trait, and not a deficit, IMO.
Those detention stories were funny. You'd think the teachers might stop and think "is this the hill I want to die on?" I'd be embarrassed to submit those remarks to a superior.
