YOU’RE DOING QUADRATICS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL?’

[–] beansbeansbeans@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Anecdotal, but I grew up in the US and I learned this in middle school as a gifted student. Others have mentioned it depends on the state/curriculum. I imagine in other countries they also divide their students between standard/honors/gifted-type tiers; they certainly do in the Netherlands, which is where I did my graduate studies.

"Gifted" education in the US means they burn us out with weird "critical thinking" extracirriculars and then berate us when the senioritis hits two years early.
