Smart enough.... but not smart enough?
Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at 9:57PM A conversation earlier today that centered around some of Jr.'s classmates who have signed up for one week courses at Stanford and Berkeley for summer. Yes! You read that right.
Ten year olds attending special "educamps" in everything from Java program skills to Creative Photo editing and publishing... at a cost of ~ 1000 bucks for a Mon-Fri class which is 9AM-3PM.
My first thought was "How can I teach a class like that and retire soon?"
Anyways, we were talking about the correlation between the kids grades in school today to see if they are super smart.
Jr.: I don't know as we are not allowed to look at other kids report cards.
Me : when I was little the whole class knew what everyone got. The teachers would read out our scores before handing out our test papers!
Jr.: Well, it is different now and I did get many "O's" this year! (O is for Outstanding)
Me : (looking at little one) Did you get any O's?
LO : Appa, (yells) HOW CAN I GET O'S IF I GOT A MINUS FOR "LISTENING AND FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS" ?! YOU TELL ME.
Me : !!!!!????
Seriously, how can I tell her anything after a rhetorical question like that? You tell me!
