[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your kids will be happy, well adjusted kids. Many of these "geniuses" are pushed by parents and end up succumbing to stress, afraid to try new things & fail, etc. if your kid is getting As and Bs, your kid will get into a good school and do well.[/quote] There's some truth to this, especially the part about good schools taking B students. But it's also the sort of gross over-generalization about kids and motivation that can be very misleading. By high school, most of the "geniuses" I know are self-motivated, and many of the kids who were pushed have rebelled and won't be going to Harvard after all. On the flip side, being a B student doesn't mean, by any stretch of logic, that the kid is well-adjusted and happy. [/quote]
