To the teachers who recognized the child's abilities and allowed him to work at an advanced pace regardless of his age - Well done.

Our kids are far more capable than we give them credit for. Probably 95% of kids could graduate high school by the time they were 14, if properly taught.

To the teacher(s) that taught him how to read for enjoyment and understanding ... YOU were the key.
We must learn language, without which we are no better than baboons.
The lazy language evident all OVER the net (and way too much here in FR) is evidence to me the public school system is designed to weaken and break the American "can do" spirit.
Mike learned to read and THEN was given material that systematically brought him to where knowledge was a fun toy.

I sure hope the young man develops a thickened skin because there will no doubt be the occasional adult with an implicit bias against high-IQ individuals, especially when it’s a 12 year-old boy with a healthy skepticism.
