I had gifted kids. My son was hyperlexic, so I looked into a school for gifted kids. They required a professionally administered IQ test. I obliged. My daughter tested at 146. My son’s overall score was brought down by a disability affecting one area but other areas like working memory and reading comprehension were testing at a college level; he was 6. Then it occurred to me: If my kids only ever socialize with other gifted kids, how will that affect their personalities? Will they become smug assholes? Will they become impatient with others, or simply unable to enjoy people not at their same intellectual level? I opted instead to put them into French immersion. They are young adults now. I don’t regret it.
