[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one got picked on for being smart at my public school (one DCUM would turn up their noses at for sure). The smart, socially awkward kids got picked on; the smart, socially savvy kids were popular. Getting bad grades or being in remedial classes was very uncool.[/quote] Exactly. Picked on for being smart? No. Picked on for being smart and "not cool?" Yes.[/quote] +1 We live in a socioeconomically and racially diverse neighborhood, and I've never seen anyone picked on for being smart. I have seen kids bullied for having a hard time communicating with peers, but not for being smart. That is, if your smart kid can ALSO discuss Harry Potter or the Lego Movie, they are going to be fine. If your smart kid either brags about their intelligence or only wants to discuss particle physics, it might be a challenge. [/quote]
