While getting ahead academically is a positive effect from partaking in one of these programs, it is important to understand the negative effects as well. The U.S Board of Education does not require all schools to offer Advanced placement courses anyone can self study and take a test at the end of the year for college credit. Schools are required to provide the testing to each student. NAGC partners each year with state education agencies to identify gifted students. Similarly, the Advanced Placement programs are designed for students to get ahead in courses and earn college credit. Gifted and Talented programs are introduced in most public schools from a relatively young age and are designed to stimulate children who excel academically and typically socially as well. The gifted kids in question can be anyone who was identified in school by the Gifted and Talented test required by the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) or those who generally excel in academics by taking advanced classes such as Pre-AP, AP, and honors courses. By Anne Daniel, Harding Charter Preparatory High SchoolĪ recent influx of videos from teenagers making fun of “Gifted Kid Burnout” and its negative side effects on a wide variety of social media platforms from Snapchat to Tik-Tok has shed light on a rather large issue with its roots deeply embedded in the American education system.
