[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a parent but just a preschool teacher... I have never had a parent of one of my students tell me their child was average. Not in over ten years. They all think their kid is bright. So my observation is that parents realize their kid is just average after the age of five. [/quote] Do you really have parents give their assessment of their child, though? Like they say "we think Johnny is brilliant, don't you agree?" That's just odd to me. I have two preschool aged kids and with both, we ask the teacher for her assessment. She's teaching them, after all, and has training in the field of young child development. I want to hear what she has to say, and I don't want her assessment to be colored by my thoughts. I think the poster who said a kid can be average and still be an amazing sponge is spot on. Young kids really are incredible learners. But that doesn't necessarily mean they will be brilliant intellectually. [/quote]
