[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. These kids go to Eastern to escape the social bullying about their intelligence that they get from their local school peers about their interests but still get it from the parents of Eastern students. All of DC's friends at Eastern to be really nice. Not a quirky, domineering, arrogant or overly serious one among them. [/quote] Thanks—this is helpful. My DC seems to gravitate toward friendships with kids who want to discuss and debate things with them. From the discourse on DCUM you sometimes think that's not what they'll find at a magnet program because all the kids are weird and have no social skills. I do always wonder if that's coming from people whose kids aren't super into discussion/debate, who think the kids for whom that's a central part of social connection are just weird. It's not weird, it's just a different kind of social connection.[/quote]
