I was also one of the "gifted kids" who struggled in school. We're common enough to have our own subreddit [1]. I learn a lot better when I'm my own teacher. I tried going back to college recently and dropped out because it felt like they just weren't teaching anything. I got bored and started failing the classes because it was just too mind-numbing to continue. I started taking the exact same subjects through free online courses (MOOCs) and instantly started doing better. Personally I think school is nothing but a factory that churns out diligent worker-drones for the capital-owning class to use as machinery. - [1]: https://www.reddit.com/r/giftedkids/ https://www.reddit.com/r/giftedkids/
