Unschooling mom enrolls 7-year-old son who’s still in diapers in 1st grade, is convinced he’ll be too smart for the class: ‘She wants to email the teacher ideas because 1st grade curriculum is too simple’
It’s always kind of funny when a parent thinks that their kid is a genius. I don’t really think there’s any real harm done in thinking your kid is going to Harvard because they rolled over a month before babies typically do so. It’s something that most parents grow out of by the time their …
