[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a few moms who swear their obviously poorly behaved kids are gifted. One started reading chapter books at a very young age...but s/he also annoys the teacher by disrupting the class, not following directions, crawling under desks, etc. The moms always say the misbehavior stems from being bored because they are so smart. Um, no...your kid is just a punk. [/quote]

My kid is the punk. He interrupts and gets in trouble, and yes has been tested as gifted. Trust me when I say I am not bragging about it. I’m mortified, and no amount of consequences have drastically changed his behavior. I would rather my kid be well-behaved and hard-working than smart and obnoxious. We are considered “strict” parents according to our neighbors, so I don’t think I’m annoying like the mom at the pool referenced above. Anyway, just wanted to say this because my head isn’t in the sand. And I’m sorry about the punks out there like my son who are disrupting your kid’s education, I truly am.[/quote]
