[quote=Anonymous]My DS is in Fairfax County AAP.  I have volunteered to help with things - Socratic Seminars being one example (you read a good short story with a message behind it and come up with questions to discuss with the class).  I can tell you from personal experience that there are DDs in the small group of EIGHT who try to hog the entire discussion - unlike the 2d grade teacher, I try to be polite, but get others involved.  The DSs are more quiet in these situations, mostly, but if directly engaged they come up with really thoughtful things (to which an aggressive DD may respond by saying "That's what I meant ... " etc.)   It is very obnoxious.  And this is in a small group - 1/4 of the whole class.  Do not kid yourself that even though your kid is smart but there are plenty of other smart kids, (dare say some more quiet, yet even smarter) and other kids who need attention perhaps because they aren't getting things so easily.  If you need constant stroking, move your kid to private school with smaller classes or home school.  Your child, precocious as she may be, does not deserve all the attention all the time. [/quote]
