[quote=Anonymous]You are picking up, but I was told by another parent that he was surprised my child got a math award.
My other kid won whatever competition it is at school  where the kids standing up on stage and spelling something. I wasn't surprised, but I can see how other parents may have been. They are all lawyers, doctors, diplomats, professors, scientists. I'm a immigrant and wait on table for living. I wait of some of them when they come to the restaurant.
The kid's talent really is in math, and parents keep asking if we do RSM or Kumon.
OP,give them some time to get used to it and they usually just come and ask for advice.
Ofcourse there's a lot more to the story than "I'm just a waiter". My kids ruined my cover. Older one told me to stop telling my sad Russian stories as I'm not even Russian, and stop telling people "I'm just a waiter". 
My kids have been judged based on what I do/say. School receptionist suggested I'd send my older one to ESL glass after hearing me talk. Luckily his teacher intervened.
