I'm sure this does happen but basically 8yo DD feels she is being isolated by her classmates (I wont call it bullying yet) because she is notably more intelligent than many others and they are jealous of her, both in her work, mannerisms, tidy appearance etc.. In a way I can understand but how do we tackle this? Acting dumb is not something I would accept. I know a few teenagers who have taken this approach and benefited short term a little, long term just worse.
