Do not look and sound any different, than any other 5 graduates from any other good high school, do they?

They're talking like YouTubers. I'm not sure how much of a good idea this gifted stuff really is. It's still a normal classroom, the only difference is you're magnifying their ability to understand the material by putting more of them together.
What I'm looking at here is a bunch of 145+ kids who have been socialized to speak in technical jargon. That's not the same thing as developing your personality. Also wondering if this is a private school for rich kids. Glad they're not being held back in public schools though.
