�The one thing I do agree with completely is that internal motivation eventually determines much about what happens in the upper LOG. I have two kids not far apart on AT, IQ, or school ability. One wants to learn physics at 7 and the other wants to play basketball all day. I suspect they will look very different at 17 and that won't be about anything other than desire and rage to learn.�

My son also demonstrates a rage to learn. He really wants to fit in also, but not at the expense of his next science project! We're still working on finding a more accomodating educational environment.
