[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you know that you 'spread the word' far and [b]wide[/b] that your kid was gifted because it gave you bragging rights. That is not a good thing, no. I assume that the parents of these kids and some of you must not have been high achievers with advanced degrees yourselves because if so you would realize what a sh$t show of a struggle getting any kind of advanced degree is for anyone. The kids that were told they were 'gifted' and 'special' as kids used to literally leave the programs when things got tough. They would leave and apply to some other program where they were less uncomfortable and praised more :roll: - which was never going to happen. It's good that some of you are thinking about being better parents.[/quote][/quote]
