[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's important for you to realize there is nothing unique or remarkable about what you're describing and when she applies to college she will be competing against similarly gifted students for slots. [/quote] You are wrong. A kid who figures out how to read by age 3 is exceptional. Assuming (a) kid basically taught herself and (b) parent is accurate about kid being able to read (vs recite text from memory and recognize a few words). This is consistent with a subsequent identification as PG. [/quote] No, they are just smart and have a knack for that. My kid could read by 3, but couldn't talk. He's a smart kid, good IQ but not a genius. You save for all kids and treat them equally. If they have a lower IQ because of your genetics its your fault and you should take that money and get them what they need in terms of tutors, etc. vs. punishing them and doing less for them.[/quote]
