[quote=Anonymous]Hmmm, this sounds like your school's culture. I have one very bright kid who had to be bussed to the high school in 8th grade for 2 of his classes. He was never made fun of, most kids were actually really curious and always have wanted his help. He started tutoring in Math in 9th grade and now as a senior, makes $40hr for SAT/AP test prep along with tutoring for Calc AB/BC. He has a ton of friends and his intelligence makes him stand out in a good way. However, his school has a lot of high achieving kids and our school culture celebrates success. Our high school has someting referred to the "nerd wall" next to all the athletic awards that celebrats kids academic achievements (think NMSF, match competition winners, DECA winners, ect...) and it a huge deal to make the "nerd wall".[/quote]
