Just think what kind of hell she must be living at home, if she learns to play the violin and was stuffed with enough learning to graduate high school at 9 ... all woork and no time to play...

[macdoc]

would you want to play dolls with 9 year old girls when you are as smart as her ....don't think so.

[Svartalf]

mmmh, maybe not, but whatever her leisure activities of choice, I doubt she had much occasion to indulge in them. (unless it's the violin, which her 'rents obviously encouraged)

[macdoc]

Ummmm single mom ....read the article.
I'd suggest she needed no haranguing to learn ....she needed and got the challenges required to fully develop her abilities as a prodigy.

Mozart by the age of 5 could read and write music, and he would entertain people with his talents on the keyboard. By the age of 6 he was writing his first compositions.

If young kids want to do academic stuff, let em. If they want to play with dolls, let em do that. If you're a parent, just don't be Mozart's or Micheal Jackson's dad.

When Americans are asked to check a box indicating their religious affiliation, 28% now check 'none.'

A new study from Pew Research finds that the religiously unaffiliated – a group comprised of atheists, agnostic and those who say their religion is "nothing in particular" – is now the largest cohort in the U.S. They're more prevalent among American adults than Catholics (23%) or evangelical Protestants (24%).

Back in 2007, Nones made up just 16% of Americans, but Pew's new survey of more than 3,300 U.S. adults shows that number has now risen dramatically.
