She gets her braineses from me!
No, seriously ... She has been in the "Gifted Program" since the 4th grade and has always done well in school. Until her Freshman year of High School, when the "Gifted Program" Teacher questioned whether she was truly gifted, because she didn't accept (the teacher's) conventional wisdom! The teacher's reason for questioning her intellectual status ... BabyGirl 1StronglackMan challenged her (In an admittedly disrespectful manner) when the teacher attempted to teach (during Black History Month) that Abraham Lincoln had great love for, and was a "great friend" to Black folksr.
"Dad ... she was flat-out wrong and I told her so!"
That led to my going to the school and straightening that teacher out. But the ruckus, embarassed BabyGirl and she decided to shut down. It took about 4 months of re-assurance for her to get back in gear.
