So, I'm highly gifted. I am in 8th grade and I go to a Junior High. The only gifted classes my school offers are honors english, which is pretty much the exact same as regular english, and honors science. I'm not extremely interested in science, so I don't really want to change classes. All of my classes are very easy for me. I am the only one raising my hand the whole time pretty much. This leads to boredom, which triggers my severe A.D.D., which causes me to space out, which causes missing assignments, and missing assignments cause bad grades. My grades are starting to suffer because I'm so ahead. It is so frustrating I cry myself to sleep over it. I hate my school so much. It should be shut down. They have 6 special ed classes, yet no gifted classes. It is no more fair to have a gifted child in regular classes than it is to have a special ed kid in them. People don't understand this and tend to not really care. It also doesn't help much that I'm the only person in the whole school (literally) who is at the level that I am. Everyone always asks me for answers and help and I'm known as the super smart kid. I guess that I should be flattered, but I want to be with people like me, in classes that challenge me, so I can be given the fair education every American is entitled, but sadly many do not receive. I want to change schools, but the only schools in my area (Salt Lake City, Utah) that seem good are either $15,000, which I can't afford. I need to go to a free school. I found one that was seemingly perfect, but then I discovered they didn't offer french classes. French is very important to me. I am so frustrated. Please help! What should I do?
