You need a base number of students to run the school. The number of gifted kids with parents who want them in that environment and can afford it was never going to be enough to make ends meet [/quote]

Honestly, the number of really "gifted kids" is really small.  Sorry, all you doting parents.  That doesn't mean your DSs/DDs aren't smart [i]for their age.

[/i]  But "gifted"?  Unlikely.  [/quote]

Whatever. There is a clear definition. Mine had obviously met it by age 2. It comes with massive downsides, which is why Feynman was so important. Picture a 5 year old describing Planck length to their Kindergarten class. It does not go well. At Feynman, no one would blink an eye (at least 5-10 years ago). That’s why we overlooked all of the red flags. Snarkiness is not helpful or welcome here. [/quote]

Sure thing honey. Nothing says “ secure parenting “ like complaining your  5 yr old now has to explain quantum physics to kids still learning colors. [/quote]
