[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never describe your kid as athletic, creative, talented, artistic, musical either. Heaven forbid![/quote] It's not the same. Not even close.[/quote] Why not? Academic ability should count in the mix[/quote] Oh come in. Do you really not understand this? Telling someone they are "gifted" (in academics, sport, music, whatever) implies that their achievements are due to a "gift" outside of their control rather because of any effort in their part.[/quote]
