One of my wife's nieces is smart, spooky smart, she's forced to work on groups where she does 99% of the work and the loafers get equal credit, complain and she's labeled an unfair trouble maker. The school system is making a former very open and generous girl into a secretive mean spirited sociopath. Sad and frightening to watch and be helpless to do anything. The legitimate anger this kid is carrying is terrifying.
Yea I worry about a really negative outcome. Not much I can do.
Yeah there is. Be there for her, and talk about this nonsense and that it IS nonsense.
I have a nephew who's plenty bright, picks up on all sorts of stuff. But he _is_ in the public school system, not much I can do about that as his mother works for them.
Mostly I don't have time for any of this stuff...
