[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a provincial area in the US and it was definitely not cool to be smart. High school was actually the worst. It wasn’t until I got to college that I could really be myself and have friends that were like me. My smart kids are having a totally different experience living in DC. Agree with OP that other areas can be very different.[/quote] +1 It’s the school/environment. Not your kid who sounds delightful. I went to a school like this. It was hard. I was bullied. I did things to try to fit in. Most people would have no idea. I got the h*ll out and my kids are having a much much better school experience in a place where being smart is valued. [/quote]
