Whereas I forwarded it to my kid's gifted teacher, because I believe most of those are issues for my kid. They were for me, too, when I was a kid, although I'd be the first to admit that when I was that age, I was totally an obnoxious braggart who thought I was better than everyone else. But I think the causality goes in the other direction - when I was in an environment in which none of those things were issues, I was a much more tolerable person.
DD mentioned just this week that kids were giving her trouble about having skipped a grade, which I'd figured would be a non-issue by now, a year and a half after the skip.
DD: One kid will say, "why did you skip a grade?" and then another one will say, "because she's smarter than all of us!"
Me: Are you smarter than all of them?
DD, indignantly: No! ... Especially not than the teacher.
