Plot Twist: she didn't take all that time to give an answer coz she was calculating. She was in fact unsure whether to show her skills or not.
ACTUALLY her ram memory was full, she was calculating black hole gravity for a mass, while aligning the stars in orbit around planet 9 (an unknown mass)
while accessing the school menu for lunch with internet implants.

That's not a plot twist. I've always thought that, especially because she quickly calculated the square root after that.
Hate how adults need to feel better by talking down to children.
Fhthofv right 23
Some do. Some know better.
This isn’t the average student and she though t rn kid was being rude at first there’s a difference with disrespect and talking donw to somenkne
I think the teacher at first was trying to teach her a lesson, but as soon by the end she started testing her- not with the intent of embarrassing her but rather just trying to test her if that makes sense LOL
Didnt see it that way
Anyone who's seen the movie will quickly understand that the teacher wasn't belittling her or being snarky. She was shocked at first and kept increasing the difficulty, and realized she was in fact, gifted. In the movie she actually pushes for her to be placed in a special school.
The problem is that, when it comes to super-genius types, they are almost all male. The fact that the one depicted here was a little girl would just make her much rarer.
@@flingmonkey5494 Hmm. I'd disagree with that. Marie Curie, Jane Goodall, Gertrude Elion, Ada Lovelace, Rosie Franklin, Dorothy Hodgkin... I can name at least a dozen off the top of my head
movie? what movie?
@@benjaminojeda8094 Gifted. 2017 movie with Chris Evans, Mckenna Grace, and Lindsay Duncan
@@dexternelson They were good people, and certainly smart. But they were not in the super-genius class. Think of the great classical artists, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Van Gogh, all the greats. Now, name a female in that class. Then name me a female composer to equal Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Bach. Not there.
I didn’t interpret a mean teacher. I think the teacher recognized she had a student in her class who was a more advanced than her other students and was bored so as a good teacher would, she challenged her. And I think the nod and smirk she gave was more of an encouragement and “it’s ok if you don’t know” and maybe an internal acknowledgment of having pushed the student too far.. until she answers the question.
@Billy William whats wrong woth that? Id let her bully humiliate and dominate me 😍🥵
@Billy William no, the teacher even gives her advanced work later on to encourage her
@Billy William just because you perceive something one way doesn’t mean it’s correct. She was a bit harsh in the beginning because she was responding to initial disrespect, but she ends up being a good teacher
@Billy William and actually it does matter, your seeing one perspective not the whole
@Billy William LOL dude how old are you? I’m getting incel discord server flashbacks
One of the most funniest scenes, reminds me of the Roald Dahl book and movie called Matilda, when Miss Honey found out how fast she learned too.

I’ll never forget when I was 10 years old myself and another boy were being shown around our new school. The teacher asked us our hobbies or interests. I replied I play chess: the other boy replied “I do maths”. He’s now a professor of pure maths at Cambridge University:))
Chess is a nice hobby! I play chess for like 8-9 years now
But what do you do?

I had a teacher like this in 6th grade math. There was 3 or 4 of us in the class who would fall asleep or get in trouble for talking and she finally had enough and kept us after class one day (recess was after her class). She gave us each a worksheet to do, but had grabbed the wrong copies from the machine and ended up giving us 8th grade papers. We were all done with plenty of time to spare.
Instead of getting upset, she put us in the corner of the room (too late in the year to move us to a different class), and would give us honors worksheets to do while she taught the rest of the class. Then when they were doing their worksheet, she'd teach us what she was teaching her honors class. We were all put in the correct level math the next year; two of us were put in other honors courses as well, like English. Not all kids that "act out" do it because they intend to disrespect; some do it because they're in the absolute wrong class and are bored.
@@pauldacus3110 I guess you've seen a few Rabbit classes pass by before yours finished ^^
My teacher when I was 8 or so noticed I was good with numbers..not like this girl, she encouraged me but then left..the good news is I then changed school and ended up in her class! I saw her last year after nearly 40 years and she remembered me by name, amazing woman! amazing teacher and a superb mathmetician.
My teachers always just "ignored" me. I read a lot so I was more advanced in English then the rest of my class (I'm German) and instead of trying to entertain me my teachers just didn't complain when I was reading on my phone as long as I answered correctly when they asked me something.
bruh lucky. My country doesn’t allow us to change classes or skip grades, everyone progresses at the “same” rate. I have to sit through the same classes that everyone else attends and have to to further study apt to my standard at home or external teaching centres. Smh wish i could move to a different country
After moving from OK to SC and entering the 4th grade, I practically didn't learn anything new until the 7th grade. The only class I excelled in was a go-at-your-own-pace math class.
It basically ruined me as a good student and I've been a somewhat poor student ever since.
No A's from the 7th grade until freshman year in college. I graduated with a BSEE in 4 years when most took 5.
Interestingly, my grades continued to improve until I finished graduate school with a 3.4. Not great, but pretty good for a still poor student.

The realization when she goes from, "Okay, she's better than everybody here." to "OMG I've got a genius on my hands!" is priceless. She has to check her results with a calculator. (I could do that in my head but it would take a while and I'd have to write down partial answers to add them up. Square root? Forget it.)
57 x 100 (5700) then 50 x 35 I'd go to 3500 and split in half to get (1750) then 7 x 35 I'd split and go to 210 plus the 35 (245) but after that still remembering the 5700 and 1750 and 245 to add would be tough to get while still remembering the original problem 57 x 135. If somebody offered me a couple hundred and two minutes I might get there without writing anything down but it'd have to be in a quiet room. Double digit multiplication I was always good at but triple digit takes more memory than I usually have.
@@chewy98ta28 Easier to do 60 * 135 (or 6 * 13.5 * 100) (= 8100) and then subtract 3 * 135 (= 405).
I knew a man who was this gifted once, made me feel like a child and I'm sometimes extremely intuitively intelligent. What a human though, maths like this girl, spoke in 7 languages, could understand 7 more, brilliant artist and the best kind of friend. He also liked coffee, I miss him since he succumbed to his mental illness, very few know what I am talking about when I am unwell with my own mental health issues until they research, he knew and encouraged me to not hold back with a warm smile!
Emotions are an unreliable method.

@@jadabolden3202 yah
@Jump Jack calm down bro
@Jump Jack some of it I find you got to know where the numbers go and how to put them together is the big problem. If you have a formula and you know how to interpret said formula and what to plug where then you can get math done. That's my findings as someone who struggles with mathematics.
yeah man fuck math
Reminds me of my late Dad, who could do similar calculations in his head as fast as a calculator. He said that during WWII, when he was in school, there weren't enough paper/pencils for each kid, so he learned to do it all in his head, but I always thought there was something special about his ability to just snap out the answer to some complicated calculation, without even a pause.
Once you learn how to visualize the question it becomes a lot easier.
A friends father, a retired shopkeeper, can do similar maths in his head just because he had to all his life.
@@alfnoakes392 I have OCD and used to compulsively count digit sum sequences all of the time. Forced practice does wonders for mental math abilities.
I've always done instant calculations of the average of large amount of numbers. Not always right, but very close. Too boring to do math tricks like making sure the answer is 100% right.
Did he just standard arithmetic (+.-,*,/) or also exp and ln and differential equations?
I like how she throws in the Square root just in case giving the answer didn't already floor the teacher.
And I am a bit confused because the multiplication was trivial compared to calculating the root, yet she was much faster with the former.
The kid's intelligence is impressive, but she still needed to have her behavior set straight.

FUN FACTS ABOUT ‘GIFTED’ (2017) (1) In the film, there is an assortment of complex math equations to be solved, for Mckenna to remember them for her scenes, Mckenna and her mother put together a song for her to remember them. (2) Chris Evans and the entire cast and crew for the film adopted a pet from the animal shelter they filmed at. Chris named his dog ‘Dodger’ after the dog who stars in the animated film ‘Oliver and Company.’ (3) Mckenna Grace packed a stuffed seal with her for her travels that’s been in her family for over three decades, the stuffed seal even makes an appearance in the film. The seal’s name is Dee Dee. (4) On set, the cast and crew all had a swear jar that they were required to pay $5 per curse word and $10 per ‘F’ word used. According to Mckenna, Chris still owes money to the jar. According to Chris, he’s ‘In deep.’
How you know it's a hollywood portrayal of giftedness:
1. Savant like abilities and/or profoundly gifted characters (which, btw, are so rare that it's less than .01% of the population)
2. Teacher who identifies the child as gifted
3. The child solves formulas and works with the best of the best
Realistic portrayals of giftedness:
1. The child is ahead in math and reading, but has gaps in knowledge.
2. Teachers don't identify the child as gifted because they don't do their work on time or forget their homework
3. The child might have autism, adhd, ocd, anxiety or learning disabilities that could interfere with and mask their giftedness
4. They have a higher risk of dropping out of school completely or failing
5. If the child is appropriately identified, the gifted program may not be adequate for their learning needs.
I’m going to guess you don’t like the movie Rain Man 😂
@@brianaguilar8283 I think you misunderstood my point. Rainman (while it did have its flaws) illustrastes what savant syndrome is:
someone with disability (like intellectual disability, autism, etc) who has an outstanding ability to do something. IE: quick calculations, playing any music from memory without training, etc. It's extremely rare (1 in 1m) and not well understood. It is not the same thing as high IQ. Someone with high IQ will grasp new information with few repetitions and use patterns to learn new information. But Hollywood always shows giftedness or high intellect as "savant syndrome' because they dont' really understand either.
Really wise information. May you be blessed for it.
I recommend you watch the movie. In this case, the girl comes from a long line of intelligent people. Her mom, her grandmother, her uncle are all exceptional people.
The mom, however, committed suicide when her daughter was a baby. The grandmother is obsessed with results and pushed her own daughter to the point of suicide.
Her uncle decided to give her as much of a normal childhood as he could. Being the one who is raising her. His own sister was also gifted and he saw what happened to her.
Yeah not the best writing… Even someone who is incredibly gifted won’t know how to multiply or how to calculate the square root of something until they’ve learnt that concept. They’ll probably pick it up much faster than most people, but they’re not going to their first school day with infinite knowledge. Haha hollywood
I know a few high functioning autistic people who are just like her. It's phenomenal mastery of either letters or numbers. They're brilliant.
Yes, I know exactly what you mean and I can see why you would be impressed. I am on the spectrum as well and the same thing happened to me but it is no fun at all.
@@danielhenriquez4327 I understand. Some people can be so judgemental and scared of people of the spectrum. They are often shunned and put aside from society. And yet brains like yours are such a gift to mankind. I once met a guy who was ten years old and he was going at University. He had Asperger and had social issues but he was so brainy I had jawdrops. He could do anything.
adhd is the reason i’m becoming a novelist. my autistic brother might become a plane pilot.
For me it's languages n sociology
To be honest, I kinda resent the fact that autistics with especially low needs are seen as "gifted" across the board - the portrayal in TV and film is just that we always seem to be geniuses regardless of the subject, and it's just not true - for me, I always grasped concepts and drew conclusions quickly, but ask me to do even basic maths and I need a calculator because the numbers won't stay in my head.
As a result, I always felt "less than" watching gifted kids in films and shows, because I used to think "if everyone else like me is so good at everything, what's wrong with me? Why am I so stupid?"
I don't know why some ppl comment negatively on the teacher. She didn't know tht Mary is gifted. She probably thought tht Mary just act up or misbehave and warn her so tht other kids didn't act rude as well.
Totally agreed with u👍.... If that teacher was real badass then she would have behaved rudely with the girl even after knowing about her talent..... She was merely trying to disciplined her....
the thing is: She did not warn her. She tried to embarrass her in front of the other children. Mary's comment, gifted or not, was inconsiderate but so was the teacher's reaction. She should know better than the little girl.
She handled that when she told her and the rest of the class to not speak out of turn. When she made her stand up to test her math skills, it became vindictive.
One job of a teacher is to know the status of their students. Most are too lazy and preoccupied with minutia to give a damn.
Inconsistent writing and/or directing. In this scene, Ms. Bonnie acts like a typical mediocre teacher who assumes that all her children cannot possibly know what 17 + 15 is. When she asks "All right then. Well, what is 57 + 135?" she shakes her head in a sassy way that looks like she expects Mary to fail and be embarrassed in front of everyone.
A minute before that, Ms. Bonnie impatiently waves Mary to stand up and sarcastically (yes) says "These questions are for you because you're so advanced." I say sarcastically because every other thing she says and does shows that she does not believe Mary can do two- or three digit addition.
Later on, the condescending woman suddenly becomes the teacher with a golden heart who helps Uncle Frank support Mary. Maybe she just wants to shag up with him.
i watched this movie and this little actress aka Mckenna Grace is so damn talented!A future Oscar and Grammy winner!She sings as well...So moving that she makes me cry..I have watched all of her movies since...

Gifted is a 2017 American drama film directed by Marc Webb and written by Tom Flynn. It stars Chris Evans, Mckenna Grace, Lindsay Duncan, Jenny Slate and Octavia Spencer. The plot follows an intellectually gifted seven-year-old who becomes the subject of a custody battle between her maternal uncle and maternal grandmother.
OK I thought that was her! I hope she continues in Young Sheldon. Thanks!
What's the movie name?
I had a hs science class where everyone including myself the back of the class screwed around all class & barely passed. That was until a smart kid started mouthing off how dumb we all were. He mouthed off so much that I took him up on a bet for the next test. He was so confident, he put money on it. As it turned out, he lost that bet and all future bets. The teacher wanted to know how I did it. That wasn't the right question. The real question was why. Once you have the motivation, you can figure out the how by class preparation pretty easily. Biggest lesson of my life.
Such a beautiful scene
Mary is McKenna Grace.
💜💙💚🤍💛🧡❤💖
the way Miss Stevens smirks when Mary shows she does'nt know the answer to the biggest , last problem. That look was mean of the teacher .
Agreed, she just HAD to be right, can’t let a student embarrass you in front of the others that would be the end of the world
@@Conmama19 IKR!
She didn’t smirk cause she was right, her hopes were getting high believing she had a child genius & since she ain’t answer right away she just moved on.

I still remember starting the first grade, when I could already read. The class was inching it's way through the Dick & Jane books. It felt like a living a nightmare. The teacher once asked us what our favourite colour was. I told her mine was taupe. She said that was not a colour and the class laughed at me. Good times.
I couldn't read when I started first grade, but I learned VERY quickly. When the rest of my class were still reading picture books, I was already reading Stephen King and Tolkien...in English, which is not my native language. And while other kids had comics as bathroom literature, mine was a stack of science magazines.
LOL... You deserved to be laughed at. Nobody's favorite color is taupe. 😄
I always say that my favourite colour is puce. The word just makes me laugh. Puce is dark red with a grey purple tone to it.
Same here. We had the colors of the rainbow around the blackboard and I must have read them 1000 times a day. And they passed out sheets like "circle five elephants, circle seven lions" and I couldn't figure out why she gave us 15 minutes to do ten of these when I was done in a minute.
This was me in Kindergarten with the Buffy and Mack books but I snapped one day in reading group. Each kid read a line. The book went “Buffy went up the slide. Buffy went down the slide. Mack went up the slide…” I started to show my annoyance and the teacher said something to me about being respectful and the next thing I know I’m angrily flipping the pages and reading the whole book with increasing intensity which only took about 20 seconds. Then ranting about how you don’t even need to know all the words because there was a clear pattern in every single book and the next sentence is obvious. It was a scene. Not identifying gifted kids and failing to provide them with an education appropriate for their needs can lead to issues with anger and depression.
This movie was so special. The actors did such a phenomenal job. Made me cry so many times.
Absolutely fantastic movie. Contains my favorite line from any movie ever, that had me in tears of laughter: what she said to the teacher when she found out that her uncle had slept with her, I can remember choking on my beer...was an unpleasant/pleasant moment, funny af.

Teacher's vary a lot in their approach to 'gifted' children. I had one child start kindergarten able to read books, but still spent all of Kindergarten with the rest of the class learning their "ABCs". Some teachers put in extra work to provide appropriate and challenging material to "gifted" students, while others view them as an inconvenience, as they was to focus on providing a standard lesson plan that caters to the 'average' student, and spend any additional effort on improving the performance of their struggling students.
I also have another child that was was evaluated as being a two years ahead in the 'average' math level when in Year 1 but who then spent the next 5 years of primary school doing the same grade level math exercises as the rest of the class (simply got everything done in about 1/4 the allotted time and sat around bored for long periods). Fortunately we have a system of "selective high schools" in our state (NSW) so both boys ended up with a similar ability peer group and the lessons/teaching that was suitable for their needs.
Back in my day there were very few such 'selective' high schools, so I spent all of high school cruising along in the "A" class with minimal effort and got into university with absolutely atrocious study skills and levels of application. Ended up doing OK (in the end), but I'm pretty sure the education system didn't maximise my potential utility to society ;)
I always find it strange that the academic focus of government schools seems mostly concerned about attempting to bring up the bottom 50% of students to attain "average" levels of performance, but often takes a "they'll do fine" attitude to catering to the needs of gifted students. In contrast, other areas of child/adolescent development focus much more of maximizing the potential of the most "gifted" children - examples would be in the areas of sports, music etc (eg. sports coaches are much more focussed on ensuring their "star players" excel than they are on bringing the performance of below average participants up to 'average' levels of performance. Go figure.
good point about the sports/music even art teachers. Teachers in general suck at their job. They just are not prepared to be a good teacher. They are trained to be a teacher that sucks. It might be the school systems fault, the fact that classes are made of too many kids (30 is standard in my country) or maybe kids are badly raised by their parents. But it's like they say "you got to play the hand you've been dealt" and teachers should do with what they have, and look for internal reasons why they suck... if they even realize they suck at their job in the first place. and btw. teachers suck for both gifted and average students. It is sad when potential goes to waste but average students are more important to society just because they are the majority by far.
I would like to make a point about selective high schools, at least in my experience they do not provide adequate levels of challenge as they are still restricted to being not far off the curriculum, especially in mathematics. (I go to one of the very top selective schools.)
@@nebula3415 Probably true. I only went to a normal public high school (non selective) and it seems like my boys enjoyed going to selective HS more than I enjoyed non-selective HS and it also seems that bullying in selective HS is less common than I had found it to be in non-selective HS (due to quite a few of the half of the student population with below average IQ often amusined themselves by annoying the 'smart kids' endlessly) (but that might be due to changes in public schools in general during the past 40 years). They seemed to enjoy the educational experience, although they didn't seem to spend much time on homework/assignments (my youngest is currently in Yr10 and spends about 6 hrs/day gaming vs 1 hr/day doing homework/studying -- but he is in the 'top half' of the selective HS in all subjects, so I can't complain about his study habits if he gets decent academic results.
If they were highly motivated and *wanted* to be more challenged in the subject they are good at, they might find the curriculum a bit pedestrian. But as long as it isn't a mind-numbingly boring as I found non-selective HS it seems OK. Although my eldest quite enjoyed computer science, so did a lot of extracurricular activities (did SDD by external study in Yr 11, did a first year uni CS course at UNSW while in Yr 12 etc.)
@@ralphmorgan6130 I have to agree with you on the bullying that is significantly reduced, I do think the points you made about it being not mind-numbingly boring are correct although it is not as advanced as I would have liked, I do still believe that it is better then non selective public schools.
In reality most schools do placement tests and/or questionnaires to parents about general levels. It isn't uncommon for some parents (think Asians) to have already run their kids through pre-kindergarten, academic camps, or home schooled their kids through basic math or even reading -- plus general issues such as language and such.
My wife's brother was like that at the same age in northern England. He was removed from his regular school and moved to a better school. Most people from his area didn't go to college, but he did and majored in math. He has been a computer programmer since then, working for the Bank of Scotland.

When I was in middle school I never paid attention during literature class. I read a book the entire time.
Another student raised her hand to say “Sophia is reading in class!”
And my teacher asked me, “Sophia, what is your grade in this class”
I started blushing because I didn’t want to brag, but I answered “100.” And all my classmates gasped 😂
My teacher said “I don’t care if she’s bouncing on the walls! As long as she makes grades like that she can do whatever she wants in class”
That shut that little snitch real fast, and it felt like a main character moment to me
Wow you are smart
During Chemistry class in my junior year of high school I pretty much just read or did other things, sitting in the back, not bothering anyone. The teacher hated me and refused to approve my taking AP Chemistry in my senior year. I went to the front office to complain and they called her in. She said she didn't think I was "suit to such an advanced course", the Principal asked what grade I was carrying, she tried to deflect and I interrupted saying "Sir, I have a 100% grade on everything in the course for the year so far." Yet the bitch still refused to approve it and the spineless Principal wouldn't override her.
Similar story in high school Algebra class. I read science fiction books during most of the class - and aced the class. This was a new teacher and she quite teaching after that because she could not handle a student like me.
I was not exceptionally gifted; but did graduate college as an engineer with high honors due to my grades, and took a lot of extra math classed just because I was interested in math (turns out I was one class short of a math minor - had I known I would have taken another math class).
Speaking as a seasoned math teacher of varying levels, never underestimate the talents God has given others. I have been blessed to witness and oversee others' growths, and I am thankful for the opportunity to contribute.
I wish I could have a date with that teacher 🥰 So earnest and caring.
When you're too much of a genius, the simple things makes everything boring...
Don't know why people are villianizing the teacher. She wasn't "talking down" on the child. She was trying to teach her a lesson on good behaviour and not act out. Kids aren't exempt from receiving a penalty on disrespect. A teacher is there to educate as well as set an example and punish a student if need be.
Are you a teacher?
@@bestmoviesever1 Nope.

So her method of embarrassing this little girl in front of her peers is valid? I don't think so. She could've said that you shouldn't be saying that since it's mean etc but embarrassing somebody in this way is pretty mean and though Mary's comment was inconsiderate so was the teacher's behaviour but as a teacher you should know better than a first grader.
Great film love this, had me the whole time.
Plus Mckenna Grace at 11 years old played Mary so well she had me believing and still does.
Shame she missed out on the Best Young Actress 2017.
She had my vote.
My older brother (now gone) was somewhat like that. At the grocery store he could have a total cost of all the items before the checker had rung them up. Yes, he was good with numbers.
My HS friend could calculate the mpg as the numbers were rolling up on the gas pump - he'd randomly grab a gallon and tenths number and spit out the mpg, were that the full amount of the tank fill-up from previous trip... then when he got to the actual "full" value - he'd tell you what percentage the MPG had dropped by from the previous calculation he'd given. Last saw him in 1975, no idea where he ended up, I've never been to a HS class reunion. I checked him once on the first electronic calculator I had access to, and he wasn't wrong...

@@Sarawarawara- this is definitely not year 1 either tho, i think it's reception in UK but anyway, the kids aren't learning 1 + 1 in kindegarden, they didn't learn timetables only addition like 1 + 2 or 3 etc. Only some multiplication for the gifted child
@@photoballa Ahh okay
That was me in kindergarten, except it wasn't a teacher asking the questions. The sixth grade teacher next door borrowed me to motivate his students because he knew I was at least advanced enough to them them a run for their money. I didn't even understand the big deal when the kids started throwing multiplication of two-digit numbers at me. It was just a fun little game to me and they were having a blast. By about 8th grade or so, the other kids had pretty much caught up to me and I started actually learning when I went to school. By the time I got done in school I was only slightly above average.
I remember asking a very elegant Scottish gentleman that same last question, unfortunately I was well into my 30's . Great clip thanks for posting.

She's so adorable. I watch out for McKenna Grace movies and tv shows. She's going to go far.
This is the first thing I've ever seen with McKenna Grace, I had no idea she started so young. The first thing I ever saw her in was Young Sheldon, followed by The Handmaid's Tale. She is an outstanding actress!

@Jump Jack Being good at arithmetic may not be a sign of being good at math, and not being good at arithmetic doesnt necessarly invalidate your intelligence but being good at it definetly can be a sign of intelligence
@Jump Jack No. Human arithmetic isn't computational ability at all, it's more about recognizing patterns and therefore learning tricks to massively speed up arithmetic
@Jump Jack Pattern recognition defines intelligence
No, most people are idiots! It annoys me no end when I hear "Math is hard (whine)!" Math is not hard, not even Calculus. It is just taught terribly and children have been given a pass for decades by using that line. Math is the only thing you will EVER learn that follows a consistent, logical set of rules without exceptions. Compare that to Biology, English, History, Geography, and even sports that are full of exceptions, nonsense, and sometimes outright contradictions. Part of that is due to the federal government changing the Math curriculum in the late 50' and early 60's to the "New math" in order to rush out a lot of engineers for the space program. They needed well trained "grunts" (aka computers) to do the calculations. The system was never fixed after they broke it.

I had a reading teacher once in middle school who decided to sort the class into different levels. She made us do a test and then based off our grades grouped us into the highest achievers to the lowest…. Well guess what. I was in the higher achievers group and we gave her the HARDEST time. I’m pretty sure she would go home and punch things out of anger. It got to the point she put our group in the classroom closet everyday and we did absolutely nothing all period every day but laugh and joke around. She brought it on herself honestly.
You revealed more about yourself than about the teacher.
@@bigredracingdog466 Please do tell why you believe it was pertinent to comment this. Also explain why I should care.
@@ThePlur427 As a former teacher, my question to you would be why would you treat your teacher like this and how did it benefit you in the long run?
Moral message: you can be rebel bad student in the classroom unless if you are equal or smarter than your teacher
Smarter people tend to rebel because rules restrict their imagination.
@@IssyFishyy Perhaps. But often it is just due to being bored by totally unchallenging/repetitive/simple tasks designed for the 'average' student.
@@ralphmorgan6130
Yes, schools are designed for average people.
That’s why both gifted and special-needs kids receive an unorthodox education.
@@ralphmorgan6130 it seems to me that they're designed for the lower end of average. why would we see so many straight A+ students if not? and why would straight A be the expectation if not?
@@quarepercutisproximum9582 There's also a lot of politics/parental ego-massaging involved in public education. It is easier for a teacher/school to award 30% of the students an "A" and minimize friction with helicopter parents, than it is to only give an "A" to the top 10% in each subject (which would mean only around 2%-5% of students could achieve "straight A's") and have endless conflict with parents about whether little Johnny/Betty 'deserves' an 'A' rather than a 'C'. I'm not sure that such ego-boosting is ultimately good for the students -- they end up bewildered why they didn't get into an 'ivy league' college, or why there aren't a CEO and billionaire by age 30...
Been there, done that... nothing worse than being so young and so gifted, then becoming the teachers pet. (Jealous school kids will make your life pure hell, until you stop showing you are better than everyone else and decide to keep a low profile and just blend in.)
This was such an emotional movie. Brilliantly done.
Actually, gifted children like her do exist. In college I had a differential equations upper division course and in the class was a 8 year old boy who was taking the course. He was so young when he sat down in the auditorium style folding chair his feet didn't touch the floor. The room had to be an auditorium because one equation could take up all 3 large blackboards mounted on 3 sides of the room. I befriended him that semester and he was a normal 8 year old except for his very gifted math-sense. He was also very polite and well mannered unlike how the little girl in this movie,
That's cool. I still think a child should have a good child hood though and hang around/go to school with people their own age even if they are incredible gifted like that. No need to rush them through life like that. I hope the kid has a great life.
I wouldn’t befriend an 8 year old. It’s wrong. He needs friends who are his age.
@@strugglingcollegestudent He needs to connect with people on his level for the various areas of life. For many of those areas, the 8 year old should spend time with 8 year olds. For some other areas, it may be a 12 or 20 year old.

That teacher is beautiful.
She is a bonnie lass.
My son is well ahead in math. He had picked up 4tg grade math while in 1st grade. Being back in person in school, he has been called a nerd so often that he refuses to keep doing it.
The mental anguish, behavioral health stuff is real. I wish it wasn't. I can see many kids just ending up in a worse place if they were gifted. But this is humanity we have created...we reward and exalt the worst of us and vilify those who have a brain.
The sheeple will always try to downgrade someone with better knowledge, technique/prospects.
hopefully your son will be shown how to counter this by whatever means is necessary...
I love this kid, she was excellent in Troop Zero.

Don't send him there.
I remember my son's first grade teacher snagging me in the school lot and asking me to come up with my son to the classroom. She showed me his standardized test scores and said she had never in all her years teaching seen scores like his. She said teachers get a separate report on each student with different information, and my son's were beyond anything in any of the reports she had seen. She showed me my version, which she said was off the charts, and she showed me her version, which gave a more comprehensive overview of my son's class and the national information. My boy is a doctor now, and I still see that teacher quite often and remind her how awesome she is for recognizing his intellect.
Most doctors are a bit above average intelligence but far from genius. Otherwise they'd be plumbers.
I came across this movie in April, 2023. So far I've watched it only 8 times.
That teacher is a classic example of a casual authoritarian. Nobody speaks unless spoken to. Not engaging in conversation with the girl but dismissing her as if she did something wrong. And most of the time I would not expect the teacher would give the time of day to students enough to get to know them.
Um that's normal for teachers......
I disagree with u.... Here teacher was just trying to disciplined her what u saw as an act of dismissing her.... It is clear that girl was misbehaving with teacher and didn't even respected the principal..... So teacher was absolutely justified on her part..... If she would have been a real authoritarian then she would have behaved with the girl rudely even after knowing her talent but she didn't and tried to understand her more.... So plz don't judge...
Casual authoritarian lol. You mean being a teacher?
@@anshulgoyal9008 her talent doesn't matter - the comment was inconsiderate but that could've happened to anybody not just to gifted kids. However the way the teacher reacted wasn't considerate or fair either. She was consciously embarrassing Mary in front of her peers which might be effective but in no way okay.
@@lionmuesli4321 Why her talent doesn't matters??? The teacher was absolutely fair in her approach bcoz Mary was behaving very rudely to her teacher n principal in front of those same peers which is not at all acceptable...But when teacher realised that mary is gifted then her behaviour changed naturally n she tried to be more polite with her.... How teacher was wrong on her part??? Should she had endured a Kiddo's arrogance in front of her peers??? Just think abt that
As a child i was gifted at maths. However i was weak on subtraction and that worried me. I looked around and all the other kids seemed to be confident doing subtraction there I was worrying. I pondered on it for some time I was 6 at the time. I suddenly worked out the solution. I was very fast at addition and if you took the subtraction answer and added to the subtraction amount it would equal the initial amount. So suddenly it became very easy for me as i could instantly check my results. One day the teacher tested all 30 kids in the class on subtraction, 7 kids had one set of anwsers (I was one of the 7) the other 23 had identical answers. As a test the teacher told the class the seven kids had it wrong. Four of them immediately accepted this two others and me argued the point until one by one the others accepted this point. I was 6 i argued the point for 20 minuites before breaking down into tears. Then the teacher revealed i was correct and this was a test. Sometimes the teachers can be quite mean.
I was a gifted kid. Not a prodigy. In the 80s and my parents put me in the right schools. My mom was a college professor and I was allowed to take college classes and HS. I thankfully had a bunch of siblings that kept me grounded in life. Ironically I was a bit of a wild child, partying and clubs with my brother who was 4 yrs older than me. It was the 90s, you hung out with older people. I'm grateful my parents let me do what I wanted and I'm a lawyer with several degrees but I'm successful and give back to the community. I got a degree in psychopathology which I love as I volunteer to work with victims of violent crime.
I'm not autistic or on any spectrum. I do have a degree in Math just in case all else failed. I love learning, I'll always be curious and I feel sorry for those that don't. I'm extroverted and played sports and was on a cheer squad. I'm full of sarcasm and dark humor. My dad was my rock, my mom my torturer. It really does count how you raise your kids. Oh and I believe in working for what you get, no tantrums and you get it.
Great movie and McKenna Grace (Mary) is adorable!
There was a proverb "To be Lucky, Intelligence is not important but to be Intelligent, Luck is important at the very fetus"😌
Luck is simply a retrospective view/evaluation of past random occurrences - it is not an intrinsic property. i.e. someone has been lucky or unlucky, it isn't a property that applies to future events (except in fiction)
Yes all human intelligence match almost 99.9% but in view of developmental psychology we are not equal and we all have different potential.
“In this class we don’t speak unless spoken to” doesn’t work with smart kids, they’ll wonder who gives you the right to silence them.
I cannot stop watching the brilliant reactions of Jenny Slate
The looks on the other kids faces are also priceless 😊
This is what teaching class with John Von Neumann in it must have felt like. Guy did calculus at 8
I like how the teacher was trying to discipline Mary but then got intrigued by her.
You _like_ that she was trying to use public humiliation as discipline?
@@DerpDevilDD If that’s what you thought I meant then sure.
I think that was more or less being terrified - not intrigued...
No she got owned. By a child.
I'm nauseated by how the teacher was trying to discipline Mary.
One of our friends thanked us for talking to her daughters as adults. My was puzzled because the two girls were so smart. “Don’t all people treat them like adults?” She asked. “You’d be surprised,” she replied.
McKenna Grace deserved an Oscar for this performance.
Shes such a great actress bruv
That feeling when you own the teacher
This is not THAT difficult, unless the teacher is mean and takes revenge by giving you lower marks... So you simply wont dare to. Because, the typical teacher isnt teacher because he is almost a genius, but its because he is a mediocre. Once upon a time, becoming school teacher was a good carrier for a poor but gifted village girl (or boy). Think Anne from the Green Hiils / Gables . But in our times, where college and universitet are in practice open to all, its usually the mediocre ones whom become teachers, the bright ones and hardworkers, proceed into professionals or scientists... Take the example of musicians; the weaker musicians become teachers, the good become orchestra members, the excellent become solists and concert musicians. (solists)...
I grew up having difficulties to learn. Then, when I went to the university I had a professor who believed in me and challenged me. It was with him that I discovered that I could remember an incredible amount of information and once I had it all in my mind, that I could reason things almost no one else in the classroom could understand. For one test, I memorized a whole book and realized that it was something extraordinary because of a classmate not believing that I was able to spill it back page by page. At some point in my life, I played games with people from whom I asked that they would give me a list or random things and then I told them what the items on the list were and years later they came back with the list and I was able to tell them the items in order, backwards, the items' numbers and having been told the numbers, the items that belonged to each number.
No one would ever know how much I suffer growing up feeling that I was stupid, when all I needed was someone to believe that I wasn't and to help me.
the teacher is a wonderful actress
The movie does prove a point. If a student feels that they are not being challenged, then they can be disrupted.
Or even disruptive...
I don't like how people are comparing this to the Matilda scene. The Matilda scene was Ms. Honey making a joke, and Matilda getting it. This scene was the teacher trying to humiliate a student in front of the class to put them in their place.
Yeah this teacher was too mean to be teaching 1st grade.
Public schools are acting more and more like the military.
They teachers voice is mad relaxing
I was in an intro to calculus course my senior year of high school. I guess the teacher thought I was not paying attention, called my name and asked me to come up to the front and solve the problem there. It was to write down the first derivative of a formula with exponential and trig terms in it. I glanced at the formula on the way up to the board and immediately wrote down the answer, turned and smiled. We became friends after that. I don't think I ever told her how I did that... it was from a short paperback I had read over the summer.
If that was my kid and the teacher told me at a parent teacher conference that she talks back to me a lot, I would simply respond with, "You probably deserved it."
lol
ah yes, the new generation of parents, the ones who won't teach their kids respect and how to behave with older people, and will always defend them no matter what, splendid!
@@atashidakara actually i dont give a fuck what if anyone older or much older than me says what i should do or behave like that, it is completely ridicolous and no one can command me in nothing words. We are all human, age doesnt mean shit about experience, the experience does work for people who they have been seen anythings in their life. If anyone misunderstood me, probably i will figure it out, however they do that because they want me to act like their thoughts, i never look their age and score off them.

GIFTED
"Once she does the work that I assign to everyone in the class THEN I might consider giving her more advanced work". A direct quote from a teacher who had to teach a child with a higher IQ than the teacher's.
Not a bad thing. Kids need to learn the discipline to do the mundane things in life. When you grow up and get a job, 90% of your work is beneath you. Not everything in life is exciting and new. It's the 10% that keeps you going. If you won't do the 90%, you won't keep a job, because nobody cares if you love it or not, they need that 90% done. Then, you get to do the 10%. Now the flip side is, if 100% of your job is beneath you, find something else. You will be a miserable human being that dreads getting out of bed every day.
@@johnanderson7076 I disagree. The only thing that the kid takes away from that teacher is that the kid really doesn't have to the work. It comes easy at that stage so at an early age they are taught that they DON'T have to put in any effort in every day tasks. Those tasks are too easy. When you're talking about a 6 or 7 year old CHILD, they don't take away the lessons that you point out. They take the easy path.
If the teacher doen't challenge them early on, they will never learn to rise to ANY challenge they encounter during their lifetime.
@@johnanderson7076 lol no, very little in school is particularly useful, especially for advanced students, its Government funded Daycare, I wasn't nearly as advanced as this girl, but advanced nonetheless, and it was a complete waste of time. I blitzed through every book given to me in a day or two and had to painfully wait for everyone to catch up over the course of months.
@@keithfilibeck2390 To a certain extent, you're correct. There are hidden benefits though. It's useful to learn how discipline yourself and to help others do mundane tasks. Let's face it. 85% of the jobs you do at work are beneath you. You do the 85% so you can do the 15%. Learning how to do the small things and how to cooperate with others is key to success in life. In America, school is not for the intelligent. It is for the low and average. The goal is not for the brightest to succeed, it's for everyone to "pass". It's Harrison Bergeron come to life. Fortunately, the bright kids will take what's taught in school and go out and extend their knowledge themselves. Quite often they are self-taught.
This was basically me in first grade, except there was no happy ending. Once everyone realizes you're smarter than them, they beat the crap out of you every day just on principle. If you haven't lived through life where hundreds of kids make it very clear every day how much they hate you, you can't truly understand the burning desire to just want to go on a rampage and destroy everything you possibly can. The funny thing is they have no idea that they're digging their own graves, because revenge is a dish best served cold. I'm in my 40's and I've NEVER forgotten a name. I'm getting my revenge now, slowly, and ironically. Car salesman gets run over by his own car, firefighter dies in a house fire. It's so delicious. So let that be a less to you, boys and girls, don't piss off the smart kid. He'll grow up to be a very smart, very bitter adult. Who remembers.
We had a very intelligent guy at my school, a couple of decades later some of the yobs were applying for jobs at the site he managed, he called them in for interviews, then reminded them of who he was, and told them to piss off off for they would never be employed by him.
Shout out to my Ghana family you guys are the best with teaching techniques.
Very nice scene. I wish I could have discovered a special gift of some of my teachers, though.
Her brain connects really well.
Lord please bless me with a brilliant child like her
Love this scene!
I love this kid. This is very typical of bright kids in our school system. They are not being challenged. What a shame.
The real marvel here is that the teacher did nor dismiss her but took the time to explore a very unlikely possibility that could help better this child life.
Based on the teacher's body language (impatiently waving her to stand up, sassy shaking of her head while quizzing her, saying "well" and turning away when Mary hesitated, etc.) I don't believe she was aware of how smart she was. Later on, when the director decided they needed a teacher with a heart of gold, she became more caring and more into shacking up with Uncle.
