Could you share what education philosophy your family followed or what decisions were made to enroll her in university at a more tender age? Thank you.
Her sister (barely eight, would now be a second grader) scored a 6.9 grade equivalent on a third grade test. I did do a practice test with her because it was her first such multiple choice exam with a scansheet. She multiplies polynomials in her head. Her term paper was on Verne. In our home school, we have spent the bulk of the time with her undoing the damage of two years of dialogue journals and fuzzy spelling, and that was a PRIVATE school (her sister didn't have that problem because her reading was stronger before she entered kindergarten). I have come to the conclusion that to preclude the damage in reading that a public school will do, one must have their child at a MINIMUM third grade reading level entering kindergarten.
These are bright, but otherwise NORMAL kids. I have seen no evidence of "genius." They work hard, they love to help, they are kind and generous, and they do fine with other kids. I have no desire to "toughen them up" with middle school viciousness. Leapfrog that garbage, meet the creeps in college holding the academic high ground, see them for what they are, and pity them.
