[quote=Anonymous]Agree that "average kids" should be praised for non-academic skills that are strong. However, I hope the implication is that "average" is OK. Many average kids could be above average with better instruction. I also don't like the second half of the quote. It reveals Starr's zero-sum mindset. You don't have to knock another group down to build up the "average". The second half of the quote is reminiscent of a major stereotype that the gifted suffer -- if you're extremely bright, you must be socially awkward. Not true and terribly disappointing to hear the Superintendent parrot this kind of well-known stereotype. [/quote]
