Spin off... if your child gifted?

It isn't so much that the kids are ALL that much worse, what the problem is is the attitude of the PARENTS has done a complete 180 and want used to be the kid's fault is now ALWAYS the fault of the teacher/school somehow. A kid fails an assignment-it's the teacher's fault because she didn't get clear enough directions--it's no longer the kids' fault because he didn't LISTEN in class. If a child gets in trouble in class it is the teacher's fault because "my child would not act like that"--even though they have no idea how their child acts away from them and most kids do NOT act the same in school as they do at home...(not that it is all bad-a lot of talkative kids at home never say a word in school, for example).

That's just what my friends tell me - the kids aren't really worse but the parents are MUCH worse!

I think the bigger question here is... did they have golf is 1818

No, the bigger problem is people confusing a good student with a gifted student
