[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think he's a genius, but he's extremely bright and picks things up immediately. I teach high school math and in 4th grade he is able to do much of my algebra 2 work with just a few minutes of instruction. He's definitely not a super hard worker the way you'd define it. He has massive anxiety and perfectionism so he often avoids assignments that don't have single right answers. (e.g. he writes great research papers but avoids all creative writing assignments, LOVES math, hates discussing book themes and character traits. Had an assignment in 3rd grade to write a newspaper article with a "catchy title" and couldn't even start it because the title was so stressful). He's going to be a happy little computer programmer one day.[/quote] Programming is extremely open ended, too. "I want a website where I can do X Y and Z. Make it sleek like website A but not to try-hard like website B." [/quote]
