[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Giftedness completely aside, study skills are really, really important for college admissions. That includes writing out your thought process to check for accuracy. Being very intelligent doesn't immunize you against making small mistakes that throw off your final answer. There are some very smart people who are just disorganized and don't earn the top grades. There are some people who are less smart, but are very organized and do earn the top grades. If you want your child to succeed, you need to work with them on basic study skills. Raw talent is only one variable in the equation.[/quote] And, btw, this is why we praise hard work in our house and not being smart. When our daughter succeeds at something we never say "wow, you're so smart!", we say "that's wonderful, you obviously worked very hard at that."[/quote]
