My kids are not in school yet. But, A friend of mine has a daughter that is very smart and does well academically.

She would go ahead of the class in math on her own and the teacher took her aside and told her to 'limit herself' to only a certain amount of math/week, so she doesn't get that far ahead.

This is the saddest thing I have read in a while.
My third grade teacher made me sign a written contract that I would only answer one out of every 5 questions.

I "wasn't giving other kids a chance to learn".

Disgusting
