[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm trying hard to understand the point in not telling them... [/quote] Because there are studies that show that children perform better academically when they are praised for effort, not intelligence. If you tell them they are smart, they don't feel they have to work as hard. In the end, though, they're smart kids and they figure it out. Also, there is a whole thread on AAP'ers bullying Gen Ed'ers. ALthough I'm not sure I believe the thread, I would want to avoid the possibility of that situation.[/quote]
