Master of None,
Can you expand on your thought that teachers think "bright" is "not cognitvely disabled"? Do you think that they are using the term to placate us?

I talked to a friend today who felt that our particular counselor sees students as multiple choice questions. As in, when she is presented with an students issue, the student must fit into answer A,B,C or D. I thought that this was a good way of explaining how I felt today.
