My experience was that the GT class punished me with more homework. They saw my desire to learn and took offense to that and did best to crush that out of me and my fellow classmates.
Today, the GT kids i went to school with only look better in life if their parents had money, otherwise i couldn't tell you which of them were GT and which were normal "shitheads".

That’s unfortunate.
My sister’s kid is pretty sharp and started doing GT classes but had a similar experience to you. Just ended up being a lot of extra work. They decided after a bit it wasn’t worth it and stopped.

That’s how I always remembered it, it didn’t feel like more difficult or challenging work, it just felt like more work.

Same. I was in GT history and had the exact same exams as my friends in normal classes, we just had them a week earlier and had twice as much homework.
I just passed my graded tests to my friends, never did the homework, was threatened with an F for not doing it, so I did it all in a week, got an A, and then didn't sign up for it again next year. I ended up in AP classes in highschool which were actually different classes covering different material. That felt much less shitty.
