Really hope she is happy in her personal life too - that degree of intelligence could be so isolating

An amazing and inspiring story.

Lambmom
her poor mom. every time she'd tell her something, the daughter rolls her eyes and says, "I know, mom." and mom can't argue!

She holds over 120 U.S. patents, was teaching university level math by age 20, and did some incredible work for IBM ... just to name a few more of her accomplishments.

Player #83925953, having myself been born in 1952 towards the end of the year, I know for a fact that anyone born in 1952 would not be more than 71….

Maybe it's her impressive pr, but I always heard it was Marilyn vos Savant.

The brain ABSOLUTELY fascinates me. Why are some people born with a ridiculously high IQ and some with an IQ of a Brussel sprout (not mentioning any names 😉😉)

Great that she was intelligent .. but I often wonder about how her childhood was.. I can see maybe pushing a child up maybe one grade. But having them study all the colleges course. I say let them be smart but do not let them miss out on their childhood.

Player #83925953, No, I was born in 1951 and will be 73 😟 in 2024. That makes her a year younger, but still smarter than me😉

The extreme but if two year olds have the proper ‘self directed’ tools from Maria Montessori theory and method they can develop much better academic and life skills.

FLGAL, no, Sheldon is surrounded by friends, who can’t help but care about him, even when it is a love/hate sorta thing. They have been taught or learned that we are not all created the same, it is okay to be different. If everyone believed this, there would be no mass shootings at schools, maybe even no wars. IMAGINE 🫠
Barb
Player #83925953, she was born in 1952 so not almost 73

Rey, Miss Stern has already been placed in multiple intellectual settings which was clearly stated in the text. AND today, she is almost 73 years old.
