We went to a new parent meeting/mixer a few weeks ago at my daughter's new school (for the fall). It was really, really odd how many parents mentioned how "bright" their child was. It is a private school & I have been trying to sort out if the majority of these kids are g/t or what. What are the odds that all these kids are gifted? I guess kids at 1sd from average are plenty bright? Who knows....

ETA: I think ordinary parents are too-optimistic identifiers, and highly gifted parents too-pessimistic if anything.

I completely agree with this..
