I think it has something to with taking a kid who's used to being the smartest in his class and not putting him a situation where he's struggling. But, even if he was average, he would not be struggling -- he would be challenged, and that would be a good thing. And if he was average, he likely wouldn't remain that way for long given the fact that he would finally, thankfully, be taught by a teacher, and given that they have ability test scores that show he likely learns at a much faster pace than most.

And thanks for the kind words! I needed that!

She thought she could, so she did.
