    If you teach 8th grade honors English, it must be awfully frustrating reading most of the stuff posted here. :lol:

    in baton rouge it is easy to get in gifted, because there are so many black people in baton rouge and blacks are stupid and it is easy to deviate from the norm.

    It's also MUCH easier in BR now, since 157 is no longer in the student population.

    It's been easy for everyone else since 1994-95 when I forsook my GT designation in order to attend BRMHS.

    Then I had to compete with several Rhodes scholars :)

    Wow. 120 is a very, very high average IQ - that's some impressive schools you must have in the area.
    In my school district, a 130 or so was all you needed to qualify for gifted. That's not even one standard deviation from your average IQ in that area & isn't 130 the starting point for lower-level genuis?

    The thing about EBRP GT is I was personally acquainted with several students who seemed to be in the program not for book smarts and intelligence but for artistic capability. I had several friends who could probably draw comic books but made D's in the easiest social studies classes.

    We had talented art & talented drama classes. They weren't combined with the Gifted kids, although many of the kids were in more than one of the types of classes.
