Gifted or to be Genius..

Boricua always has interesting convos. And they usually always have to pertain to him in a way. He's so silly. That's why I love him!
Anyway, he was reading about Gifted and Genius children. He read some facts regarding genetics, tools and controversy going on today about these gifted kids. I guess these children have a hard time finding resources for them and school won't let children skip grades. Well, Boricua skipped two grades. When 6Th grade rolled around, the teacher wanted him to do 5th grade all over again because of his 'maturity' level. He's still very angry about it because he felt he was held back in his educational progression. His IQ is near 140. He's very smart. But when convos like this go on and on and on and on... I'm over it! hahaha. That's EXACTLY how my dad is and he's so intelligent, it's sickening.
So, Boricua said you can always point out a 'gifted' person when they can never gift you a straight answer... because there can be several possibilities. So they'll say, "Well, it depends..."
Something to think about.
BTW~ Mitt killed Clinton in the debates! Woot woot!
