I had a friend whose son tested on the genius level, but had the attention span of a three year old. The older he got, the more out of control his behavior became. He would become so angry in class that he would just get up out of his seat, following an argument with the teacher, and go home. The school tried to force his mother to have him medicated. Tested him to try to qualify him for special ed., to no avail. So, they put him in the gifted class, thinking that maybe he just wasn't challenged enough. All hell broke loose.

Anyway, the kid ended up in jail.
