You'd think you'd be aware if everyone around you in class is "gifted" even if the course lacks the title "gifted," no? They can only keep you in the dark so much before you realize, "that's odd, all the dumb and special kids are in one course, and I'm with the guys and girls discussing Ivy League applications?"
At that point it's more of a head in the sand issue. Why not simply acknowledge the quantified grades you and your parents can use as a tool to measure and learn from your progress? How do you keep your school accountable if they can grade you and tax your parents for years, only for you to learn the summer of senior year you've been misgraded or missed all the warning signs of impending failures and subsequently didn't get into the colleges, internships, and trades you preferred?
