Schools for little Ainsteins

[svbox]

Are there special primary schools for childern with High IQ? Does anyone know what are my options about a child with high IQ?

I do no such things, it's incredibly nasty of you to accuse me.

I'm just having fun and I won't apologise for it.

what the hell is a broad reader stats anyway?

Erm, peace and love

I want to go to bed

and just to be crystal clear it wasn't me who reported you.

I don't care for stats or footprint or whatever - I don't know why you think I did.
oh, hang on, must be because you know me so much!

pfft

I'm guessing if you wanted to discuss schooling your high IQ child you might wish to start with your own spelling...

Well that escalated quickly.

Secret- I'm guessing if they wanted to discuss schooling their high IQ child, they might actually have returned to the thread!

see what happens when you don't give us

My Baby Einstein currently has clothes pins and and a towel attached to her pyjammas as a parachute. I fear she may not pass the placement exam

Jaysus, really?

No wander* MN is known as a nest of vipers.

• Yes, I did that on purpose, feel free to come and mock me.

Funny :)

You got me. Okay, I am part of the population of MN you are poking fun at.

In fairness though, you could have been more subtle. Misspelling Einstein is kind of too obvious because no-one ever would. You could have just thrown in a few rogue apostrophes and everyone would have joined in wholeheartedly. The Steiner brigade would have come out to play with the Montessori set. The independent parents would have come out to explain that this is precisely why they are eschewing the state sector. You could have gone the whole distance. OP, you could have been a contender ...

Nasty, nasty stuff. This is in Primary Ed FFS not AIBU.

Back off, spelling police.

Look, the OP may or may not have made a genuine mistake. In the context of her question, however, it is rather an amusing mistake. She could obviously come back, rectify the mistake/call MN a nest of vipers/ignore and plough on/whatever she fancies, really. But she hasn't and there's no way of knowing why. However, things like "Ffs is no thread safe from zing ?" are not nice. At all.

I agree with what AvonCallingBarksdale said.
All of it

To answer Zing's question though, in which language is Einstein spelt Einstein, in case you don't know many people in the word write in cyrillic, arabic, mandarin, thai etc letters and would not necessarily know the correct spelling in Latin alphabet, if you looking at most European languages Ainstein is a correct phonetic spelling of the word, as in Austria, where Einstein was born, ai is pronounced the same as ei.

Ah, this thread is cursed, I wanted to write in which language Einstein is spelt Ainstein!! See how quick it happens!

that'd be Ainstain then....

and even if some people spell their own names Ainstein or Ainstain there is no excuse for not knowing how Albert Einstein's name is spelled.

that would be the same in any language. no excuses

a spelling mistake however is quite different and easily forgivable.

I just don't think it was either of those things, that's all.

If I'm wrong and OP comes back to say anything at all I'm more than happy to apologise.

not holding my breath though

Zing, so of course if you were an expat in China you'd know how Confucius is spelled in Mandarin and anyone who laughed at you for getting a part of it wrong would be reasonable

I don't think it was a troll, I just think she tried to get what she wanted across in her limited English. Of course she wasn't back because it took 50 derogatory posts for anyone to post something remotely helpful.
