  1. Oh My Yes! on Failing Our Geniuses · · Score: 1

    The US School systems are not a place for gifted students, one may run across the occational teacher who makes up for that in some way but they are rare.

    For Example: Last year my Chemistry teacher managed to snatch up some grant money approx $55k and make out highschool the first in the us to have an electron microscope(Hitatchi tm1000). And being the tech minded one in class, guess who ended up being the first one to replace the fillament me, not much but having my hands in 55k really felt good, it was a moment, but I did feel like that there is the rare gem who makes things possible for gifted students.
