Aha, I thought so-- it's G&T Syndrome. That's what I call it anyway. When you're so used to being really good, or having to be really good, or being expected to be really good, that the awkward learning stage is very bad for you, esp. publicly. (My little sister is a perfect picture of G&T Syndrome.) Yeah, I'd grab the Flying Dutchman and find somewhere private to figure things out, some kind of forum where you don't feel like you're being judged. It kinda sucks, relearning how to learn.
(I totally wish I had a nickname that awesome for The Blonde, who is one of my best friends, favorite male lead, and general sounding board.)
I've IB and AP kids as dear, dear friends, so I get it. I, while not technically either, have had something of the same experience, but I went for bull-headed determination and a lot of annoyance to accomplish my task. (Dang private school, never translates nicely anywhere.)
