[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Look, it's a legitimate question whether you like it or not. [b]My DC happened to test off the chart on the 2nd grade test and the principal has already approached us about the fact that the school (previous teachers, administrators) have identified DC as an extraordinarily smart student. So, clearly, we will look at the HGC[/b]. That said, I have heard feedback that sometimes smart kids who are very socially challenged/odd go to these programs. I happen to have a very socially mature, engaging, smart child. Considering that I believe the social environment is as important as the academics, I will ask the question. Sorry for you that you seem to think that smart equals socially awkward and that socially confident equals dimwitted. You have a very black and white view of things. That belief system usually doesn't work out well.[/quote]

Typical dcummie lies from an envious mourning mother.  Since your child did not get into the program there is no need to disparage those who made the cut and choose to matriculate.

Take your tall tales elsewhere.  Your rationalizations are illegitimate.[/quote]

Woah, you're pretty much validating this poster's concerns linking the highly gifted centers and social challenges, despite evidence to the contrary (that is, the other posters). Not sure who you are or what you are trying to accomplish, but you're not making yourself look good.[/quote]
