Well, Kriston, I've done as much reading as I can. I'm slowly coming up to speed, but there's a lot of literature. As far as I can tell, the grandparents on one side are of the "it all evens out by third grade anyway" mindset, and on the other side they are the "you want your son to be able to fit in" types. In both cases there's a dash of "let him be a child, for heaven's sake!" thrown in. The funny thing is that these are all people who are very educated and who really value education. But although they will watch him play baseball for hours, they subtly tune out if he wants to talk about numbers. Strange.
