Of note in this particular situation...other kids were stuck, mostly offering wrong answers. The one other boy was correct.

Also, this area is DD's passion. I guess that was what shocked me. Maybe I should be shocked at her maturity...she is not generally mature. Instead, I wondered if she has learned all too well the lesson of "Don't stand out."

DD is also not a child who is problematic in this way. If anything, she is a quiet hand-raiser who puts her hand down too easily. She used to be a know-everything...I think she stopped a while back.
