When my ds was in Gr 9 and getting A's in AP Calculus AB, I asked for a meeting of the counselor, teachers and director to decide what he should do for the remaining 3 years since the new director of the private school we were paying tuition to had announced they were going to cut the high level courses. In the meeting, the director told me I shouldn't let my ds do advanced math because the Unabomber was also a genius.

Huh???!

I just left the meeting speechless. In the end, I paid for Stanford college level online courses and asked the school to excuse him from math class so he could do his work on his own in the library.
