I was a "gifted" kid placed in a mixed class in middle school. Far from bringing up the other students, I was bored and acted out. I was pretty disruptive and probably harmed my classmates ability to learn. Luckily for me I had a great teacher who recognized my boredom and stuck me in a corner with some advanced algebra and trig books and told me to get to work. Much better for me and the other students.
