[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just 'cos your snowflake is a dum dum does not mean I cannot call my kid gifted specially if all objective evidence point to that conclusion. I take your point about normalizing the social interaction etc, however. [/quote] I'm the poster above with the highly gifted child. She started college in 7th grade. I promise you, there are downsides to the label. Like I said, if I could start over I would avoid that label even if it meant homeschooling. And this is a kid who went to college at zero cost to us. And calling any child dumb is just so messed up. A fish who can't climb a tree isn't dumb.[/quote] Completely agreed. [/quote]
