School for super smart kidsBy Tom SmithNew academy for the really smart
kids. In Reno. My guess it's because the software zillionaire who founded it is a Nevada tax refugee (which is fine -- I'm all for tax havens). I tried to get my kids interested in some of their programs, but the conversation went roughly like this.
Me: Patrick, look at these programs!
Patrick: [examines website] You mean, I could interact over the internet with other really smart kids and talk about math, and literature and stuff like that?!
Me: Yes!
Patrick: I can't imagine anything more boring.
So, like any parent, I gave up. Still, maybe your smart kid has not been corrupted yet by irony. Good luck.
