Yep. I'll leave it at saying that these kids aren't really all that smart. No need for me to give details as that would likely ID some of these kids.
I can't imagine every possibility...I realize that. For example, I know one kid who is the most exceptional athlete I have ever seen. My father, who has been around a lot of sports, says the same thing. Kid can pick up a sport and in a few weeks can surpass those that have played for years. Is in HS now and has verballed in the chosen sport, but kid could really have played any sport at a DI level. Unless I had seen this kid, could not have imagined such ability.
But all of this is off topic...how can we help the OP's kid? As I mentioned, my kids have taken additional courses - they take/took two foreign languages. Middle kid has applied to a selective math camp, eldest participated in stuff like Model UN (and chaired a committee this year when her school hosted a HS Model UN event). What might be interesting to explore?
