[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one got picked on for being smart at my public school (one DCUM would turn up their noses at for sure). The smart, socially awkward kids got picked on; the smart, socially savvy kids were popular. Getting bad grades or being in remedial classes was very uncool.[/quote]

This is reassuring! Thanks. Different from my own experience though.[/quote]
 It depends on how "smart" the kid is though. If you are taking bout an above average mostly A's and some B's or even all A's, but they work for the grades and are into other things that most kids can relate to, that is different from a truly brilliant child who really sees things differently and things seem really easy to them. A really gifted child does have a hard time truly fitting in because they notice more things around them and process information differently. It doesn't mean that they will seem awkward (though some do) but they won't usually be the most popular "cool"kid. I'm ok with that.(sorry for typos)[/quote]
