[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for all the helpful answers, especially 15:48.  To the various trolls, there actually is such a thing as truly gifted, distinct from bright.  You obviously haven't encountered it, because if you had you'd know what the difference looks like.  As someone who went through a woefully inadequate public school gifted and talented program, then went to college at 13, I can say it really matters how truly gifted kids are supported -- or not.  I want my child to be nurtured in all ways, not just intellectually.[/quote]
I think you're a fake.

But if you are not a fake, then why are you posting on DCUM to ask for advice about this issue, while at the same time claiming that hardly anyone else in the world could possibly understand your child's predicament?  If only those who are "truly gifted" could understand, then only you know the answer to your question.  This all seems like a lame troll attempt.

And indeed, if you are such the prodigy, please go do something useful rather than post here.[/quote]

I agree.  Completely ridiculous and fake. There are plenty of real prodigies who go on to MIT, Hopkins, Juilliard, etc. early and do well. They get additional support from their families and the school.  These colleges are used to dealing with these types of kids and would not have accepted them if they didn't feel they could succeed.  It doesn't take a genius to know that succeeding in college (for everyone) is a matter beyond just IQ points.

Also, I'm sick of hearing how there are no schools in this area that are up to serving THEIR super special genius snowflake.  Please, give it a rest.  If your snowflake is that smart and has what it takes...  SEND THEM TO COLLEGE.[/quote]
