When I was in the fifth or sixth grade, I got placed in a GT (gifted and talented) program, which meant leaving my normal class and going out to a trailer next to the school building. Young as I was, I didn't question any of it and never considered how it felt to the poor young lady who had to spend her day in that quiet, relatively cramped space. I do remember she once misspelled the word vicious as viscous (a word I also happened to know), and I caught her out on that. She was gracious in accepting my correction, and I now wonder whether she'd misspelled the word deliberately in a sort of "Who's smart enough to catch this?" spirit.
