Sometimes, the party-poopers are the wisest of us all.
We can't say the classes are for smart students, they have to be for gifted students.
Why is that?
Because if some kids were smart, then that would imply that others were stupid (which, as it turns out, is the case). However,
calling them gifted mitigates this a bit, because it implies that everyone is inherently the same. Some people are just given "gifts" by some benevolent entity, apparently. It doesn't rule out that everyone else might get these gifts sometime in the future...
After a few generations of not taking any math, administrators won't be able to figure out why not taking math increased their average scores in the first place. At that point, they'll re-institute a math program, probably cutting out history, since that's over and done with.
I'm sure they were presented with Kerckhoff's Principle, but since it didn't involve steroids, internet taxation, or huge tracts of land they skimmed right over it.
Starting with you. If you're going to be correcting grammar, you ought to write in complete sentences and in the proper tense. It lends credibility to your posts. Since your post has no substance, credibility's really all you have left.
Does anyone remember the absolutely horrible Heroes of Might and Magic:Quest for the DragonBane Staff game that came out on the playstation 2? It removed all the "complicated" mechanics that made the game what it was, even going so far as to restrict the user to a single castle-type.
I bought the system specifically so I could play that game, but after an hour of playing I punched my television.

It's a British word for "fight". They couldn't use the word fight because it has violent undertones which could send an unbalanced mind over the edge.
