This kid is nowhere close to what she is being projected to be - Its her Parents creating each post, book showing, science experiemtn, trip blah blah blah.. DD is in TJ and this kid seems to be failing miserably and seems to come across as pretty average / clueless when other kids speak with her. What is being projected and hyped by her parents in media is however altogether a different story.

Is this student still at TJ? Trying to understand how doable TJ curriculum is for a ten year old.

She is but the rumor I've heard from my kid (not in her grade) is she's struggling. I assume there is too much forward momentum to admit this wasn't a great idea. As a parent, in no way would I want a 14 year old in a college setting.

Why are you airing a child's business on the internet?

The child's business has already been aired by their parents. They are now a public figure, whether they like it or not.

Not PP but no. They are still a kid. And I oppose discussing any specific kid’s experience in a way that identifies them. Shame on you.

We understand your opinion. Others have a different opinion.

In my opinion:

Cautionary tales are meant to be shared.

The kid’s name isn’t used.

No one is insulting the child.

Kid was already in the news. This wasn’t a quiet placement.

If that’s what you want to tell yourself to justify it go ahead. We each have to live with our actions and the kind of person we decide to be. And yes how you talk about a 12 year old who has already been publicly identified is part of who you are.

I have not said one thing about this kid other than what I wrote above. So I haven't talked about this kid in any direct way (commenting about this kid) other than to say the last thing which is kid was already in the news. You're probably one of those people who believes no kids should be talked about: olympic athletes who are under 18, music prodigies who publicaly play, under 18 remarkable artists, etc. I disagree. See how two people can disagree without one shaming the other?

Her parents threw her into the public square at 10. ISTM that most people are criticizing the parenting, not the child.
