Would you rather have a student (or a kid) fail every class except Math where she excels, doing college level Calculus in 8th grade, or a student (or kid) who gets straight A’s performing at grade level?

The real tragedy is that her peers wouldn’t understand, she’d wouldn’t fit in, and she wouldn’t pass the current school system.

So, she’ll sacrifice her interest and passion for mediocrity.

The world doesn’t need more straight A students.  It needs passionate students developing expertise.
