[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have your kid say "Oh yeah, well you're gonna work for [i]me[/i] one day."[/quote] Yeah that's the kind of thing that would make him a target for the next 10 years. Like others have said smartness isn't uncool here. Kids are expected to be smart at these schools. But they will pinpoint dorkiness or a kid who is a know it all and take that kid down. Practice social skills with your kid, make sure he can talk about stuff besides his niche interests and can read social cues and stuff. Encourage socializing, make sure he has cool clothes. I know it sounds stupid but that stuff does matter with kids. If he can hang like a normal chill kid, his smartness will never be an issue.[/quote]
