[quote=Anonymous]I know two spelling bee winners personally. These are dedicated kids and more than that they have dedicated parents. They are super high-achievers not only in spelling bee, but also academics and extracurricular activities. They seem to be socially well-adjusted and they do value their achievements. I think being part of the spelling bee crowd means that they are socializing with each other too and putting in 2-3 hours of work consistently is the norm so they do not feel isolated. My own kid is not interested in Spelling Bee but he connected with them through two different EC activities. These are surprisingly normal kids from normal families. Except they are also very focussed. [/quote]
