My child is profoundly gifted...but I guess in your world no one compare to your kid.  Feel better![/quote]

Your child may be profoundly gifted, but you are dense.   Before you spout off about things you either know nothing about or are in denial about, please do a little homework and open your mind.  The majority of gifted kids are like your kid (some estimates say around 90%).  However, NOT ALL gifted kids have your kid's personality.

Mine is not a conformist or a pleaser.  She learns for herself ONLY and things like grades, teacher/parental praise, rewards are not really motivators.  That is not a good mix in a traditional classroom.  My kid is considered "the challenging" type, which is found in a much smaller population of kids.  So, yeah, I think she is different than the majority of kids, but it's not always in a good or easy way.

Like pp, her IQ is above 150 and while that is great it's not something we run around boasting about because it actually makes her a more difficult child to parent and raise.

But there is no way to have a civil exchange with you because all you hear is "you think your kid is smarter than mine" and you want to foot stomp like a petulant child and say "nah-ah!" so you go right ahead.
