3 groups is pretty crude sorting, but the general idea kind of spoke to me. It's a lot more complicated than that obviously but the fact that some kids push their parents, while other kids will meander but willingly do more and some kids truly are pushed to far makes it very hard to talk to teachers (or anyone else relevant) who just don't get that #1 is possible and that #2 is not #3...
For my DD the problem seems to be more to do with being socially out of step and feeling too different than with being desperate for more academic "food" per se... The moments where you go "WOAH" are rarely to do with academics - but the speed at which she learns is definitely a major difference from other children.
