i feel ya bro. i make good grades and i wonder why it isnt cool to make good grades. another thing i hate is that people think that if you wear glasses your a nerd. where the heck did that come from?
hey you should be grateful that ppl are noticing ur childs talent, whether he/she is a prodigy/nerd or not, but its always best to be known as the best out of ur year lvl or school. Just make sure dont hang out with the wrong crowd and , cause peer pressure and stuff can turn ur life upside down.
i remember i was top3 student from grade 1-6 aka primary school, 7-10 top5 aka secondary...college i d up cause everything got to easy and i stop doing homework and decline in grades etc.....hanging out with the wrong ppl doesnt help, mainly gang bangers and junkies.
ps. you know when you go do tests before enrolling into a new school, they want to put the bright students into one class and scatter the rest around....most of my secondary highschool classes were filled with bright students, from school captains, sport team leaders, nerds, sci-fi nerds.....and a few dumb s who was allowed to sit at the back and read newspapers if they are not interested, as long they dont interrupt the students. Compe ion is good, makes you wanna excel to be the best in ur class.

kicking up dust is a must
I never really considerd someone a nerd based on just book smarts alone. It was more teh whole package taht was looked into. Of course that was just bc i was the smartest person in my class. Next to 4cc.
It does seem like though that there is a ton of pressure on kids these days, younger and younger. I feel bad for my unborn child already.
It's horrible that this 'cool = failure' mentality has gotten into our schools

I don't care if you think I'm cool or not. That's what makes me cool right?
I'd let her know that it's worrying about being cool rather then your grades that led her Daddy to what he is now.
WOAH! Did I miss something? I thought he said his daughter was 9! Plucking, shaving, make up? You have to be kidding me. This is in no way a societal norm (even today) for a 4th grader. If there are parents out there allowing there daughters (or just not paying attention to them) to do these things at that age, I feel sorry for them and their daughters. Taking aside all of the reasons a 9 year old doesn't need to worry about her attractiveness and sexuality, give the kids a chance to be a damn kid. You are not there to be their friend first, and let them do what they want, you are there to be a parent first. I applaud the OP if he doesn't allow his daughter to do these things. I think it's sad that applause is even necessary since it should just be "the way things are." Anyway, off my soap box, back to raising daughters.
I don't think any of us can really comprehend what kids these days are "into."She's only 9. Are kids this young already into looking "cool" and making fun of those who are succeeding?
At 9, my cousins' kids (daughters) were already worried about their weight - and they're both thin and athletic.
Could be worse. At least they're not calling her a .
Daddy has already threatened the neighbors, teachers, principals and scared most kids. Nobody Fs with my kid.
I had her read some of the responses and I told her she has the support of the ST family and she loved it. She went back to school today with a bright smile and all the confidence in the world.
Brahahahahahaha!!!
My daughter gets teased because she doesn't drop the F-bomb on a regular basis. She has had a girl in her class cuss her out for sitting on "her" swing. she tells me and I just tell her that she is the girl that will get pregnant before she enters high school, so she ignore her
my 5 year old is already worried about what she is wearing to school. She can't have any writing or pictures on her shirts because the other kids make fun of her if she wears a Disney Princess logo.
Wth is up with kindergarten nowadays? I wore Sears Toughskin jeans back in kindergarten and liked it.
Now that's a good way to make sure your kid is ostracized.
Is this her?
I like the uniform look myself. Works great and we like it. Oh, and Disney rocks!!
Being ridiculed builds character.
it was a joke.
I still don't get why kids so young can be so cruel. Aren't parents teaching their kids good morals anymore?
Man, I could not be any more pro uniform but the public schools that mandate are few and far between and mostly done at the middle school level.
I'm seriously considering sticking my kid in a private school, even if it means I have to pull a Dave Ramsey and eat Ramen noodles for a month.
you're a nerd
Next time add one of these
