I'm in my schools gifted program. That means you need an IQ in the top 10% (iirc) and tbh nobody there thinks that they're smart. Literally everyone there is a dumbass who thinks in numbers slightly more often than non gifted kids.
Also add on top the statistical likelihood to be autistic/ADHD (twice exceptional is very common btw) and it's just a normal class where those 2 or 3 kids who constantly yell/act up aren't there and on Fridays the teacher lets you make a windmill out of a paper plate, old paint brushes, and air dry clay. Last year the teacher accidentally made the finals answers all A. Tbh I'm just in it for my resume.
