      when i was a kid reading encyclopedias and astrophysics books for educated amateurs (‘cause that’s what i wanted to read…) i arrived in kindergarten where we were literally learning letters from the alphabet one by one it was kafkaesque torture & my teacher called me a smartasshttps://twitter.com/elizashapiro/status/1446435627495530496 …

      BREAKING: NYC to eliminate gifted + talented classes over the next 5 yrs, major change and likely BdB's last big decision as mayor. Kids now enrolled in gifted programs will stay in them, but there will be no more separate gifted classes for incoming kids https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/08/nyregion/gifted-talented-nyc-schools.html …

      i think it was my parents who insisted they test me, and through whatever test they did which if i remember properly included analogies, geometry stuff with blocks, and like, make a story out of pictures as well as some math, they were like, ok you tested into the 11th grade

      but talented and gifted programs were eliminated then. every class from what was then second grade and up had a gifted stream. none of the kindergarten and first grade classes did. they stuck me in first grade…

      ultimately i’m grateful for the friends i made in the class I ended up in. there were still bright kids in class who it was really fun to hang out with, and a statistically unusual number of my classmates have gotten phds or gone on to pretty deep research…

      and probably (surely??) just plunking me directly into the 11th grade would have been hilariously suboptimal. can you imagine? it has been done though, i guess. school was fine as long as i could do whatever i wanted, so long as the work got done. i’d be reading or drawing…

      or talking, quietly, with one of my friends, one of the cleverer or funnier people in class. at one point i was drawing up, kind of, machine geometries for imagined fusion reactors. there was a spelling test and they were like “spelling test” and i said “can’t you see i’m busy”
