Are you thinking that, instead of having him advance beyond his peers in certain academic subjects in school, he could spend his time working on less "academic pursuits" and more on other fun-but-educational things that have less to do with school? In other words, instead of getting so much farther ahead in math, reading, and writing he could instead work on magic and paper airplane making and other non-academic interests? I think that's an interesting idea!

She thought she could, so she did.
