Gifted student needs stimulation

Shows you that tutoring other students is NOT a substitute for proper intellectual stimulation.

Shows you that dumbing yourself down in order to fit in does NOT work in the short term or long run. And this also goes for women dumbing themselves down in order to not scare men off.

Gifted does NOT equal perfect home life/perfect behavior/Stepford/any of that. Many gifted people do not fit in for reasons like these.

And this is more proof that while everybody has potential and talent, NOT everybody is gifted and/or can handle higher level academic work.
