text: why do teachers give me so much homework? i'm in gt(gifted and taleneted) classes. and we have a different superlong assignment every week. not to mention the other teachers for the sixth grade. at this moment i have 2 projects, after tomorrow i'll have 3. all are supposed to be done out of class. why do teachers hate the smart so much? please don't feel bad. i'm also in the 'smart math' program and i have twice as much homework. but, if you try to understand the homework, you'll get good grades.
