They took a boy from my classroom, ran the study on him, and sent him back. I asked him how it had gone and he said: "They told me I was very smart, smarter than a 40-year old!"<br /><br />It took all I had not to leave the classroom and go yell at them in the hallway. Researchers with PhD's going around thinking that it's OK to tell a 5-yr old that he's "soooo smart" are just being demeaning and manipulative. I wish they would actually read some of the research that's out there. <br /><br />Better yet, I wish they could sit and watch as this "smart" boy refuses to work on the addition charts for fear he'll make a mistake and not live up to his "smart" identity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
