I loved school. However, I began first grade in 1966 when grouping and tracking were normal. I began reading at 4, but was given other work - with one other student.

In sixth grade, tracking ended and what a difference that made. I spent my Junior High years learning the same material that I did in elementary school.

I don't know where I fit in, but expectations and school has changed so much.

Gifted was not a word used in the 1960's. My father was called a "genius", which was never documented anywhere. There is almost no comparison to that time with no computers and collection of data.
