[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The jealousy in these replies is insane. SOME KIDS ARE JUST SMART![/quote]

Why do you assume skepticism is jealousy?

Also, there is literature that suggests child prodigies based on IQ and being ahead on standard academic K-12 work rarely end up being anything more than just really smart adults.

It is objectively interesting to contemplate how much is the parent and how much is the kid's doing.

"worked with a chef to create a mealworm bar" sounds very parent-assisted.  That is not jealousy on my part.  I actually find it really hilarious and pompous.  If it was "I ground up mealworms and put the paste into health food recipes I found on the Internet" that comes across different.

The kidpreneur in my town has an app that has "interns". But it hasn't budged above 50+ downloads in the Google Play store since spring.  That's 5-0, not 000s.  It actually is a good idea and deserved a prize.  But it's also been way overhyped.

When the stories get too sophisticated, there's often a parent behind the curtain.  These business/invention angles aren't like the Olympics where you can prove exactly what skills exist.[/quote]

Yeah, this is a bit overwrought but still, she frikking 11 and she got in the same way as every other TJ student.

With that said, I don't know if her parents are doing her any favors.[/quote]
