[quote=Anonymous]From what OP describes the school is definitely not NCS/STA or Sidwell, as it would be impossible for even the brightest of students not to do some studying at these schools. I say this as a parent of a profoundly gifted child with very high processing speed who still occasionally had to sit down and study. These schools assign way too much busywork that has nothing to do with real learning or intelligence. A lot of it is just sheer time-consuming grunt work. Curious what school OP considers Big 3. I am also PG with high processing speed and didn’t really have to learn to study until grad school. I have ADHD but was bright enough that I could cram most things. Nothing really fazed me until I had to do high-level quant, which is sadly not as crammable as other subjects. I figured out how to do paced studying when I needed to, and if OPs kid is as bright as they brag, they’ll figure it out when they need it as well.[/quote]
