One thing I have always found interesting to remember is that when Albert Einstein was a child, his school master told his mother Albert was retarded. She didn't believe it, and encouraged him. The theories Einstein later developed were so out-there (but correct) that it was literally decades bef the physics world caught up w/ him.<br />I also remember something Kelly told me abt Nathan Richardson one time. Nathan got a perfect score on his SAT, but no one wanted to ride w/ him when he drove, because he was always thinking abt things, and didn't notice things like stop signs.<br />I don't really know how IQ tests work, except that somehow they measure abilities or potential, rather than learned/memorized knowledge.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17518189561079994656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049461273290252398.post-35089259432449887112016-04-04T09:03:42.601-07:002016-04-04T09:03:42.601-07:00What is wrong with you.

Bleck!<br /><br />I thought your thoughts on Brennan were totally fascinating - that would be interesting to observe and study a little more. I find education a fascinating topic, so the idea of how to best help ALL children learn is always something I love to think about. <br />High IQ doesn't necessarily mean they are doing well in school or geniuses. I think it actually refers to a different way of using your brain. Sometimes people with a high iq are super good at schoolish subjects, but I'm thinking not always. Not that it's really that important to know in the long run, but it might help Brennan if people perceive him as much smarter than his ADHD portrays.
