[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you know the answer, why does it matter how fast you can write it down? How often does anyone in the real world even use a pencil anymore? Who has a job that requires perfectly filling in little circles with a No.2 pencil?

Why do they still have to fill in the g-dmnd little circles in a timed setting?[/quote]

They don't. It's on a computer. And yes, speed counts. I would like my surgeon not to have to pause too long before deciding which sized stent to stick in my artery or for may lawyer to write her brief in less time so she can do other work as well.[/quote]

So you think exceptionally bright people only become doctors or lawyers? First of all, some of the least intelligent people I have ever met are lawyers.  Secondly, I would not want my brilliant DS to operate on you either, but he can solve the world's problems because of his unmatched ability to think critically, even though he has low processing speed. You on the other hand display a complete inability to grasp the concept of intelligence. [/quote]'

you really need to give it a rest.  your DS wiht an "unmatched ability to think critically" will be FINE.  he does not need 1.5 time on the SAT, unless you think that he must do EVERYTHING THE BEST.  [/quote]

The best? Are you kidding me? That poor kid isn't the best at anything, at all. He should be (and he's a hell of a lot better person than you and probably any of your offspring) great at a lot, but being born with an extremely challenging set of learning styles makes the very rigorous school he goes to almost unbearable at times. I know this is all challenging for you to comprehend.[/quote]

You sound delusional about your ds’s abilities and like you have an excuse for anything not pointing to “unmatched ability” to whatever. Np[/quote]
