Hey TM, it's good that your kid is a little genius and all, but there are one or two issues besides ensuring that your kid gets enough mental stimulation and challenge.

IMO one area where schools tend to fail is in the area of developing good work habits, organizational skills, multitasking etc, skills that are pretty important in a professional career. It's not at all easy to teach that stuff. I also pretty much breezed through school without lots of effort. I took tough courses and did well. But I never did develop really good work habits, organizational skills, etc, because I could get by without them. Project management skills? Who me?

A kid who maybe has average smarts who really has to work hard at things maybe has an advantage in this regards. Just a thought.

Being smart at school, getting lots of mental stimulation, does not necessarily equate with good life or career skills.
