[quote=Anonymous] And the teascher doesn't call on the bright students to answer because she wants to "give other kids a chance." Meaning my kid is left to doodle and daydream, but God forbid the teacher catch him because then she will embarass & rebuke him for not paying attention.[/quote] I have a kid who tests in the profoundly gifted range. I hope you don't convey to your child that he is the smartest guy in the room. You're going to raise a kid who is unable to cope with being an entry-level employee, who is unable to cope with working with a team, and who is unable to cope with environments where he is NOT the smartest guy in the room. [/quote] Nope, I do not convey to him that he is the smartest guy in the room. I just listen empathetically as he shares about his day, but not being called on day after day makes him feel as though his contributions aren't valued. The effect over time has been that he is disengaged from the learning environment. [/quote]
