I feel that way about the Duke TIP car magnet. My car will have a magnet from 3 schools, the gymnastics place, the tennis place, the Kids chess thing...hmmmm I think that is all (yes, I know...but everyone does it where we live...when in Rome) but I just have the feeling that driving around with that Duke TIP magnet is obnoxious. DD11 feels the same way (without me telling her what I thought) even though in general, I am very careful to make sure she knows that she has a right to be proud of her academic accomplishments and that we are proud of her too, and that giftedness is not something to hide. The magnet is on the garage fridge. For some reason I think a t-shirt is less obnoxious than a magnet. I guess the bigger issue is the child's attitude and behavior--if a kid really wanted to wear the shirt I prob. would allow it.
