[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My average child is going to do better in life than the gifted one.  Better attitude, people like her, hard worker and her people skills are all around significantly better.  She is also a born leader.

Our kids are older but by the time kids are in middle school a lot more parents are willing to concede that their kids are average, nice, decent kids but probably not the next Albert Einstein.

+1000.  One son, brilliant.  He's a freshman in college and already wants to quit.  "Not for Him!"  Other kid - totally and completely average.  Happy as I don't know what.  Could BARELY read in 1st grade.  In 9th grade - not a genius.  He is a complete leader, is popular and loves being him.  He scores below avg on every standardized test available and could care less.  Drives me crazy.  We had him tested and the Dr. told us that our kid would always do well.  Stuff just rolls off his back.  I'll never be able to brag that he went to Harvard, but boy can he make me laugh![/quote]
