  Case: Gifted
Parents placing stress of Elementary aged children to do well enough on an IQ test to be “gifted” Is this bad parenting im your opinion or encouragement?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This really needs to be looked at on a case-by-case basis. Some parents just see that their child is bored, doing very well, and is very intelligent. They might want to take every opportunity to encourage that, so their child has good prospects in the future. It might also be what you are thinking, that they are measuring their child against a high standard and expect too much from them. Ask some other professional educators at your school their opinion (maintaining confidentiality of course) and take what they say into consideration. But if the student is truly intelligent enough for gifted, they might do better there regardless of what their parent's intention was.

Comments: “I would never do this! This is wrong!”. This solution may fail as it involves getting other teachers opinion on a student's ability that they do not teach, and also fails to incorporate the parents in the solution.
