DS9 knows he's a smart kid. He's had people telling him that his whole life. Especially math. He's often called a "math genius" and all the kids at school make a huge deal about how he can do huge math problems in his head. Unfortunately, he has never had to work to learn any of this. Now, he thinks that he should just "know" stuff, instead of having to learn it. He refuses to put any effort into learning things. He literally makes up explanations to things, instead of looking up the correct answer. He reads A TON, so most of his explanations have some grain of truth and usually sound so complicated that the average adult will tell him that he is correct because the adult has no idea of the correct answer himself. This "know it all" attitude is most frustrating in math, because it is hard to "make up" a way to do a math problem that you don't know how to do. So with math, he just acts inpatient and like he is being bothered and refuses to let you explain how to do the problem.
Anyone else have a child like this?
