I went along to a couple of meetings many years ago. Full of under
achievers with high IQ's complaining how they weren't being recognised
or credited in their exams/career/promotion ladder/etc.

Intelligence is like talent. It is a gift.

What you do with it is what is important. Just because you have one or the
other is almost irrelevant if you don't have the other tools needed to be
sucessful.

I feel like such a piker here - I'm only 150........

There may be hope. My IQ went up after I took a
graduate course in the design of IQ tests. :-)

That's o.k. It just means you think less like Terman than some of the
others in this group do.

It can be more like a curse. There's nothing quite like a number of
teachers telling Junior's parents that Junior is gifted.

WOW, deja vu, I have seen parents beat down children because the lesser
intellect-ed parent feels threatened, lessened, unimportant (and
usually, rightly so)--this is a sorry thing to watch in a workplace. To
watch it occur in a family is nothing less than utterly disgusting.

So much opposed to the wholesome and functional family which devotes all
to the importance of the individual and encouragement of the youngsters
to out achieve the parents ...

Where was/is child protective services when the kids need 'em?

If one is a control freak, keeping silent on these affairs allows one to
keep their illness hidden ... the terms you use are a dead give away.

Wow, "John", you managed to read in some things never written by me. I
wrote nothing of parents being threatened, lessened or feeling
unimportant. I've never watched any parents exhibiting such practices
in their or a child's workplace either.

The curse is that the parents often place unreasonable expectations for
success on a child marked as gifted. You must feel like a fool right
about now.

So much opposed to the wholesome and functional family which devotes all
to the importance of the individual and encouragement of the youngsters
to out achieve the parents ...

What is so much opposed, "John"?

Where was/is child protective services when the kids need 'em?

Why would such an agency be needed, "John"?

If one is a control freak, keeping silent on these affairs allows one to
keep their illness hidden ... the terms you use are a dead give away.

I think you might have been better served not to comment on things not
written, "John".
