    Why I Hate the Education System: A Student Speaks Out

    This article was posted on my DS's school Facebook page today. It features the thoughts of a gifted child who has slugged through the system, and is now close to the end of her time there. On this forum, the article is probably preaching to the choir. But I thought I'd share, just for the sake of confirmation bias wink

    Here's a quote...
