I think that it's ironic, to say the least, that parent's are getting blamed for 'telling your kid that they are smart' while school get off easy, when they are the main culprit of 'showing' kids that they are 'smart.' Then to get a needed gradeskip, you have to label you kid and advocate, which in some people's eyes, make you a helicopter parent.

hrumph!
