Hold up. I have a very high IQ (which is meaningless but whatever), gifted throughout school, ranked very high in the nation on SATs, highly recruited by many universities, full scholarship to college of choice, whatever. So I am gifted and you just told me how I think and feel?

You ascribed something you think on an entire group of people. That is seriously dangerous and paranoid. So I am gifted, I am not in any way disgusted by anyone who is trying to learn on any level. You are completely wrong.

I could do a lot of jobs (high paying, prestigious, make breakthroughs), but I went back to get a 2nd graduate degree to teach elementary school children in public schools. I have no interest in teaching in a gifted program. The kids in my student teaching I spent the most time with were the middle of the road students and those with intellectual disabilities. I was noted for my patience and caring for these kids. You are completely wrong in your paranoia.

Before you judge who anyone thinks or feels, you should actually engage in conversation. Then figure out how you think and feel. You are not a mind reader.

Frankly, I am saying this because you made very offensive blanket statements, which is completely incorrect. I suggest you spend less time verbally whipping yourself for your perceived inadequacies. At the very least don't publicly tar people you don't even know with despicable thoughts and character traits.
