Both Terrance Tao and Kit Armstrong were identified by the system. Your quote by Tao's father illustrates that. I am talking about PG+. Kids that can do calculus in their heads by 5.
There are big differences in levels even in PG.
Val, those are options we are trying to enjoy now. Part of her life as part of horizontal diversification. We just went to Egypt and did a unit study on ancient Egyptian history. Last year we went to Europe in April and did a unit study on the Roman period and in Feb it was Hawaii and she whale watched, snorkeled, went into a submarine and saw sharks eating on the reef and saw volcanoes and we did the whole volcano national park thing. Polynesian cultural center and history of the polynesian islands. I expect her to finish high school by 16 but it doesn't mean you cannot do those things now.
But getting into a sport is not a viable option. I was into a sport. You start early and let it consume your life by the time you are 16. You don't know about getting into a sport.
