[quote=Anonymous]I think more than thinking their children specifically are gifted, most people in this area think THEY are gifted. And if their child performs lower than what they think is an accurate representation of their parents' intelligence and giftedness, they get freaked out because they see it as a reflection on them. I am in education and there are absolutely parents who will insist their child be in an AP class when that child has never gotten above a C in any academic level course in that subject, doesn't do the work, and cannot hang with the necessary rigor of the course. But because those parents took AP, or went Ivy, or have a prestigious job now, their child must be on the proper academic track that reflects the parents' achievements and success. This is very typical of this area in particular. [/quote]
