[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]uh huh. sounds like your kid was a problem, not a solution[/quote]

+1.  It's easier to think that your kid is GT than admit there is a problem.  [/quote]

Behavioral problems / G&T are two totally separate things, and one has little to do with nor is explained away by the other.  [/quote]

Not really.  See the other poster above who describes a child with a high iq who was bored and probably understimulated at school.  
Also, that wasn't my point.  The above poster is probably a legit issue, but I feel like some parents seem to explain away behavior problems by believing that their kid is gifted.  That often isn't the case and the school get blamed because the parent is in denial.  Am I off base here?[/quote]

Yes.  You are off base and exceptionally smug about it.  But for by the grace of God go you...[/quote]

but for the grace of God go you?  who are these people?  the truth is tough to deal with sometimes...   :roll: [/quote]

I'm not that PP, but you really have no idea what the "truth" of anyone else's situation is so yeah, you do sound very smug.  Does that hurt?[/quote]

Uh, no?  :D [/quote]

Says a lot about you.  I get it - it's easier to flame parents you don't know and insult their children than to engage in an intelligent conversation about the issues.  [/quote]

Sorry if you were offended.  DCUM is a place where all perspectives are shared and people don't always agree to see eye to eye.  Isn't it also flame behavior to be passive aggressive and harass people for being "exceptionally smug."   Let's get back to the poster's original question.[/quote]
