[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]was he picked up for "acting white"?[/quote]

He is white.  (Most of his classmates are not). He hasn't been picked on yet.  Socially he does very well.  So far.  I can only assume that all the posters stating that this does not happen or that smart kids are a dime a dozen go to different types of schools.  My child definitely stands out (a lot - he's several grade levels ahead e.g. about two in math and three-four in reading) and the other kids definitely notice.  [/quote]

Perhaps, but I honestly think you're over thinking this and likely thinking too highly of your own child.  My kid with a very, very high IQ fits in just fine...but he's humble and has no idea how bright he is.  He acts like a normal kid with other kids but with sprinklings of advanced vocab or questions or humor.[/quote]

How do you know the kids definitely notice?  [/quote]

Because I've heard them comment on it, and other parents have also commented on it too (that their kids are aware, not that they are).[/quote]
