This remains a very hotly contested topic and one that has tremendous concern for all of us. Being branded as smart or otherwise can have such an adverse impact, especially on the young and impressionable. Is anything crueler than being told to sit still and be quiet when the teacher likes to hear the “smart” kid’s answers. Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I am curious to know anyone’s feedback on the following article and radio program.
