[quote=Anonymous]I have sibling who was extraordinary academically-99.9999th percentile in everything. My parents bragged endlessly about her and went to all the top schools. While she has status in her career, she cannot get along with people. She briefly married and had a child. Marriage went up in flames. Child hates her. She doesn't get along at work despite all her status. Along the way teachers kept telling my parents, yes, she is brilliant, but she needs to work on empathy and getting along with others. She needs to learn not to be condescending to peers and teachers. My parents scoffed at suck things because all that mattered was she was extraordinary in academic achievement. Academics are not everything. I want my kids to be above average in kindness, empathy and caring about the greater good. A selfish and entitled kid is a failure in my mind.[/quote]
