It feels insane to me that we call some kids "Gifted". Can we stop with that shit? All it means is they do well in the fairly toxic environment we call Education. It's the beginning of creating a class system where some people deserve special treatment, because they are good at fitting into a broken system. I'm not saying that's not a valuable or useful skill set, but it's also not how things change for the better.
