That is a wonderful quote, thanks for sharing that. I'm going to print it as a reminder.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.
-This part especially struck home. I was on another board & one poster was asking about acceleration. A teacher/parent responded that young bright kids have to just learn to contain their smartness sometimes to fit in with what is socially acceptable.
That has bothered me ever since I read it.
