Best Answer

Underachieving gifted students are often bored in school. I know some underachieving gifted students (elementary school age) who were too bored to work on their own, but enjoyed socializing and showing off their abilities, so would work in groups.

Another possibility is that the gifted child has difficulty in that particular area but does not want to disappoint those who know he or she is gifted or does not want to appear less intelligent to peers, so does not want to work independently where he or she cannot use another person to get the answers.

Does a married father that's in drug rehab have child rights?

A parent's rights and responsibilities don't automatically end because there is a problem with substances. Those rights are handled independently, and if they have not been restricted, they remain intact, as far as they can be given the living situation of the father. A father could not demand that a child live with him while he is in rehab, for example.
