[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't get over how often I hear UMC parents of average students describe their kids this way. Yes, I know it's possible to be both gifted and learning disabled, but I have a hard time believing it's really as prevalent as it seems to be in this area. I suspect that many of these parents just can't accept that their kids don't have above average intelligence and they are looking for ways to explain their kids mediocrity in a way that is more palatable to them. [/quote] Given the culture in this area, I don't blame how you feel but the GT/LD kids I have met in real life are extremely bright and you can usually see their "gifts." They are usually at the top of their class for one or more subjects but struggle in some other subject. The real average students are average in most or all subjects.[/quote]
