[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a quiet kid and am a quiet adult, and this thread is kind of throwing me for a loop.  I never thought of being quiet as a positive attribute, while being extroverted and gregarious as a negative one.  
I have always wanted to be more like the “troublemakers.”  [/quote]

There's a time and a place for this type of personality. In a classroom while the teacher is teaching is not the time and place to be class clown.[/quote]

How do you have a “time and place” for your personality?  
Don’t we all have times and places where we wish we could change our personalities?  I can’t tell you how many situations I have been in where I would have preferred to be someone who was more talkative and outgoing.

Sometimes we have to get out of our comfort zones and do the small talk, be conversational, and if that's not your personality you do your best then you get to go home and recharge. I'm an introvert by nature but sometimes I have to fake it until I make it. [/quote]

Sure.  I can do that for short periods of time as an adult.  
It seems crazy to expect a child to do that for 7 hours a day though.  I feel for these kids.  If you told me that I had to go to a party and socialize and crack jokes from 8am-3pm every day, I would be miserable.
