Why are UB parents so obsessed with proving that DCs are not gifted (or not highly, profoundly etc.)? Why don't you just worry about your own DC? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I find all of the "gifted" talk annoying as well. FWIW, my dd will be going to a great g&t program, but honestly, the only thing her score meant to me was that she had a shot a great program that I loved. I don't think it means that she is gifted, and I don't think of her as gifted. [ Reply | More

first of all what is "FWIW" and "VBA"? ITA, there are only a handful of prodogy kids, I don't think my son is one of them. I am glad that he scored well to get into a very good program as well. [ Reply | More

Because people like to knock people down a peg or two. Especially VBAs (or not so V'd BAs). [ Reply | More

But it doesn't work, the "knock down" posters just seem bitter and jealous. Frankly, I'm glad the G&T programs are for regular smart kids, because that's exactly what my DC is. [ Reply | More

didn't see the post you are talking about, but i've gotten flamed too many times about thinking my child *is* advanced. [ Reply | More

OP: Nothing wrong with thinking that. My beef is with those people who are intent on proving that your DC isn't. Or if you need to assert that your DC is more advanced than another DC. [ Reply | More
