That its normal for gifted kids to be 'way ahead' in some ways and 'age appropriate' in others - don't expect their social skills to be as advanced as their vocabulary might suggest.

It also drives me nuts that school expect elementary aged children to be 'too dumb' to get abstract concepts EXCEPT when it comes to social behavior. 'Keep your hands to your self' seems like an abstract concept to me - but so many teachers totally expect all kids to know exactly what they mean, or to be able to tell by watching the other kids.
