[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a funny situation that I see happen over and over again.
At a party or park or other social gathering and a parent with a gifted child comes up to me and tells me within oh, about 10 minutes. 
I have noticed that once that is said, the converstion leads to how the schools are slowing their child down, schools are dumbed down, the other kids are holding my child back, and so on. 
To me, this is no different than say, talking about your salary, or other private things like how big..., well, just private.

Just wait for days after knowing someone to bring it up...if you must. [/quote]

Eh. We are all going to brag about our kids being the best. I hope. 
My cousin told my mom when he was in 3rd grade. She reminds him every time he talks to her how he's gifted... he's now 32ish.  But, we were all gifted so we tended not to mention it. 
I'd rather people be surprised by my little bumpkin but he is slowly turning out to be just plain old average. [/quote]
