I agree with this; we try to be careful about identifying information.

The line between "just telling it like it is" and bragging depends on the context. In general, we avoid the topic of giftedness with other parents, because it nearly always comes across very poorly. I don't think this is "hiding" abilities: I think this is basic discretion.
