Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would not say that it is bad parenting, because some students may thrive under this kind of pressure. However, being gifted is not the determining factor of intelligence. So, placing pressure on students to be gifted, if that is not the students' desire and pushes them out of their comfort zone in a negative way, is not okay.
