Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

I was in the “gifted/advanced” track too. Teachers saw this one of two ways. Half of them got the memo: you got extra interesting stuff to noodle through because we're all under-stimulated in a typical class. The others decided to just double your homework load and call it a day. At least the teachers in the first group had some interesting takes on brain teasers and reading material.

And on that note: I must have thought about Flowers for Algernon every week since I read it. Since the 90's. I'm tired, boss.
