dont get me wrong i want my children to excel in school, as do all parents, but i personally would not want my child to be a einstein, imagine the emotional damage that would mean, and cost them, children have their peers, and i wouldnt want my children to miss out on school with their friends because they were genius's!

I am an educator at the middle school level. I enjoyed reading some of the responses to the survey. It is refreshing to know that there are parents that are realistic and supportive.
