[quote=Anonymous]Kids do extra reading, research or video watching, actually, but not necessarily academic subjects taught in school. My son has from a young age read pretty academic books. He's a history and military nerd, and this has served him well, because he's now majoring in Security Policy. But he was also interested in immunology as a kid (we're doctors and scientists), and he read my old college textbook on it, because he said it was warfare waged by the body on its attackers. My daughter and her friend read literature not taught in their public school system - which is easy to do, given how abysmal their English classes are. Her friend read the Illiad and the Odyssey and is a Greek and Roman mythology enthusiast, and DD is more into classics of English lit. None of it surprises me. That's how I was as a kid. When I couldn't get hold of anything else, I even read the dictionary. Pre-internet days... [/quote]
