[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol my first reaction was "All that talent being wasted on mealworm cookies that nobody wants to eat." (And yes, I do know that people in other countries do eat grubs.) Too much of a tryhard. [b]Not surprised to hear parents are scaffolding this.[/b][/quote] All of these "prodigies" that get in the news are majorly scaffolded by their parents who have higher IQ's than the prodigies themselves. They work the system like they're playing 3d chess. They know how to get the most out of the time and money they invest in their kids. They figure out early what their kid is kind of good at (math, music, languages, verbal skills) and then work it to the max. If the prodigies ever have kids themselves, they will never be able to work the system like their own parents did. It's like when you're watching a beauty pageant. The real stars are the surgeons who fixed all those noses and boobs.[/quote]
