Gifted

The gifted program. What do you think about it? Do you like it, support it, or do you dislike it and think its bad? I was listening to a radiolab podcast and in it was a guy who disliked gifted program thought that it was labeling the smart students from the bad ones, but  I didn't notice this in my school. I really support gifted programs; I really think it helps Gifted children think and learn. I remember my 7th grade gifted teacher helped my find the best way for me to study after I got a C on a test. After that I always got A's in her class. She was probably my all-time favorite teacher ever.

The thing is, other than the argument about the labeling issue, what's so bad about the gifted program?

Creative Writing

So today, I was thinking and doodling with a Sharpie when a poem just came to me. I really quite like it because it is really funny to me and I never really knew I could write poems. It went like this

Happy Days

Happy days
form in ways
I don't
understand

Happy days
are the same
as one
old friend

Happy dayps
are happy days
no matter
what you say

So don't ruin
my happy day
and do
what I say!

I don't know what inspired this poem because that day was neither a day I was very happy about nor a day I where really wanted someone to do something for me.
