He must be about 15/16. Cos there was the talk of him taking his final exams. I am begining to notice a trend in all the schools I support. We seem to have about 3 or 4 kids that are good @ things like that. Well these are kids we know, and I am thinking of suggesting setting up a special technology group to help them chanel thier gift constructively. I might create a mini lab/ network with a dozen old pcs, and get them to play and reaaly focusing and directing thier intelligent on good. Not sure how the principals would take that, but I sure will suggest this to the IT director.
