The Awesome, Ever Amazing, Disappearing Brianiac.

If
you're parenting a gifted, highly gifted or even profoundly gifted
student I am sure you can make the connection. Go ahead and allow
yourself that small indulgence of a chuckle at your situation. Then
give yourself a high five because that job, parenting a gifted child,
is a tiring job. If you are parenting and homeschooling
a gifted student, give yourself a box of expensive chocolates and
a huge high five because your job is an exhausting one. Trust me.

What
is Digg?
Digg is a user driven social content website. Ok, so what
the heck does that mean? Well, everything on digg is submitted
by the digg user community (that would be you). After you
submit content, other digg users read your submission and
digg what they like best. If your story rocks and receives
enough diggs, it is promoted to the front page for the millions
of digg visitors to see.

Sneezing

A Scientist at Cornell University] |
Princeton
announced in spring 2005 that it planned to limit
the number of A's awarded in any course to 35 percent
of all grades, down from the old 50 percent rate in some courses.
