[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd estimate that about 95% of parents (of my high school students) believe their children are above average.

So for many parents, the answer is never.[/quote]

My husband and I used to joke about the fact that at kindergarten orientation the principle and teachers get up and talk and then they say, "Does anyone have any questions?" and a bunch of moms and some dads stand up and ask about "your gifted facilities" and "How do you stimulate a child who might be bored in class because they're just so VERY, VERY bright?" and non one ever stands up and says "What would you do if my child still isn't reading in second grade or third?" or "How do you diagnose learning disabilities and what's the process for that?"  FUnny how everyone's kindergartener is gifted.  When you have open house for high school, there are fewer of the 'oh my child is so very very bright' questions and the people who do stand up and ask them often get labelled as wackadoodles.[/quote]
