There was that show in the UK about gifted kids...
I got curious and watched a few clips on youtube the other day. There is one child on there, a little 2 year old who supposedly has an IQ of 200 or so. I thought IQ couldn't be reliably tested at that age?
Anyway, the mum on there was crying (which made the child cry), because her daughter didn't get into some elite gifted school. She was on the show because she had called a newspaper when her daughter scored well enough on an IQ test to make her one of the youngest members of Mensa.
She seemed rather pushy to me. She was bragging about how her daughter would look at all the objects around the room when named at 4 months old. I thought, "Well, that isn't very unusual." I'm sure most of us have children who did that and we aren't calling our local newspapers about it.
