[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is tidy and well-behaved, so people make insane assumptions about her intelligence based on that. For some reason she seems to attract the attention of type-A tiger parents (we are a mixed family) of truly gifted kids who assume we are on the same path based on our education and professional lives. I usually brush off any conversations they want to start with “we’re focused on other things and we’re really happy with how school is going” because from experience people are seeking out receptive audiences with which to obsess over criticizing academic rigor at school or obsess over competitive admissions for other schools, and that’s not a conversation that I like to have in my free time.[/quote] You understand the situation.
