[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As another poster said, you've likely had a hand in creating your brat. I'm guessing all his life he's been told how gifted he was, how special, etc. My mom did that to me and I was a complete bitch until my soph year in college when I matured.  Congrats OP[/quote]

I never ever told him the above things.
EVER

What is the benefit of being gifted if you don't accomplish things?  He wonders why I am not satisfied with average marks he gets. He actually tells me I shouldn't raise my expectations of him [b]because he is gifted[/b].[/quote]

He's not gifted. High IQ really means very little in the real world.
Gifted is as gifted does. That's why FCPS has an advanced academic program. IQ score alone won't get you in, nor should it.[/quote]

H[b]e is actually gifted according to the IQ testing.[/b][/quote]

deemed "gifted" by whom?  All I see here is a high IQ -- which isn't translating into academic performance[/quote]
