    I went to a gifted class between fourth and eighth grades. It focused mostly on enhanced problem solving and such. Sometimes they'd get us into groups and have us play a simulation game called "Decisions Decisions" where we were given a complex scenario and we had to use special aid booklets to make informed decisions on what to do. I always hated those, mostly because I would suggest something and then the rest of the group would be like "here's Matt with another stupid idea" but then they'd suggest an even worse solution. Because it was majority rules, we'd always go with the stupid decisions, and when their plans failed miserably they'd always say "You could have stopped us at any time, Matt."

      @mrmattimation I hate when that happens. Had a stubborn little dole this year. Always chose the wring answers, and was cocky. Everyone acted like he was the smart one.. He always was in my group, too...

      @mrmattimation So you became the lightning rod after being creative for an adequate solution. The nerve of them to blame you for being aware about their stupid decision, seriously, I would say go mangoes yourself if that happens.
