[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ironically, calling your child "gifted" clearly indicates you come from a family that is NOT especially well educated.

Just FYI.

Nearly everyone in my family and DH's family went to Ivy league schools (HYP), and we nearly all married people who went to Ivy league schools, and THEIR siblings and spouses mostly went to Ivy or similar top schools.  We ALL have had the experience of testing in the 99th percentile as kids.  We were ALL National Merit scholars.  Those things are just standard in this circle (which, btw, is pretty big).

And I have never, ever, ever heard anyone in this circle refer to themselves or their kids as "gifted."[/quote]

Oh STFU. I can rattle off qualifications too.

I tested in the 99th percentile. So did my sister. We both graduated with honors from top prep schools and with honors from top 5-10 research universities for undergrad and grad school. So did my husband. Our HHI is $1.4 million.

So I can go toe to toe with you and your family. Guarantee it.

The reality is that the term “gifted” is one professionals use in educational testing. It’s in my daughter’s neuropsych evaluation. [/quote]

You are both tools.  I can barely read and I make 1 to 8 million per month.  You or your kids might even work for me, that is, if their “gifts” involve a capacity for hard work and a depth of common sense.  [/quote]
