[quote=Anonymous]I agree with him. I tested in but missed the cut because one teacher, who had known me two weeks, decided I wasn't ready. So every day I saw the "smart kids" go off and do all sorts of interesting things while I was stuck in class doing workbooks. It turned me off of school for a long time. In high school a couple of teachers realized I was mistracked and helped me pull out of the rut. If I sound bitter, well I am a little. When someone tells an an 8 year old they are not smart the kids hears it. Now that my DD has started school I pay very close attention to this stuff. It still happens and is can be very toxic. Especially here in DC where all the children are above average. [/quote]
