[quote=Anonymous]One of my kids is like this. It's like he's Bruce Wayne and has a secret identity. At this point, I think he embraces it, and cultivates it. I think it's because he's goofy and kind of hyper although not ADHD. He has a brother who is much less academically talented, that everyone assumes is smarter. When it's friends at school or their parents, I don't mind, because I do think he contributes to it himself. I have family members who can not let go of this view and it drives me crazy. I definitely see how racism could play into it, although in our case our boys are white. We're also a single mom family, and on the low end of the income spectrum for our school, but if that was the reason you'd think it applied to both kids. [/quote]
