agree with serendipity! When your not stimulated enough you really do learn to play up in school, you will become disruptive and mishbehave - people tend to ignore the intelligent kids and give them lables such as geek or swot - yes even the teachers - they tend to then ignore the child till they play up then they learn that if they misbehave and dont do there work they got more attention than when they do the work, its a vicious cycle.
then theres the peer pressure as well to fit in and confrim with other children - who generally dont like ( and the parents too ) children who are more gifted than them. Its very isolating and horrid the child then learns that by being gifted they are different and they then confirm to the norm kids do get picked on for being top of the class, its soul destroying for them! they then learn that if they act dumb then people will like them more - and believe me its a hard act to follow!
well done you for doing this, yep i have a really high IQ ( yep i cant type, and i cant spell!) i got picked on for being intelligent and laughed at, learnt quick enough if you act like a dumb blonde people like me more! its a hard thing to go through! but amazing that you care well done you!
