This is a very long term study and I hope it changes the way gifted kids are educated.

I have a grandson who is very gifted and he did skip some grades and is now enrolled in a program for highly gifted kids.

I hope he acheives greatness as a result.

Define greatness.

So the gist of all this is to not post anything serious due to ongoing attacks by trolls such as Seiste and his buddies.

Well, I did ask you to define greatness, but you answered Seitse with "just something better than the rest of us", which I thought was a pretty good definition.

I guess I was looking for specifics. Besides the acquisition of knowledge, what would make a person attain greatness.

Define "buddies". 😉

You put it out there, pops. Nobody gives a rat's arse about your inbred progeny.
