[quote=Anonymous]As someone that was surrounded by both normal & gifted students before attending a "nerdy" Tech school, these are my thoughts: 1) You focus heavily on your daughters academic gifts 2) Your daughter has significant social issues with peers and superiors that you don't have a good grasp on. I had many friends coined gifted in Elementary school that went on to do mediocre in High school and college. Mainly they lacked the drive, organization, etc to continue to excel. When you tell or label a child as smart they don't work as hard as children labeled as hardworking. My advice to you is to get outside advice regarding your daughters behavior and how she can improve socially. Otherwise, she will continue to become frustrated academically for all the wrong reasons. In your case, mainstreaming for a while could actually be very beneficial. She can still be herself, but in a way that she learns to get along with others.[/quote]
