I feel like that was addressed, in bits and pieces. If you&#x27;re worried about your kid ending up &quot;abnormal&quot; or &quot;out of place&quot;... well, yeah, they will. But the author (and myself) have no problem with &quot;abnormal&quot;. &quot;Normal&quot; is not necessarily <i>good</i>. He does say that he&#x27;s worried about <i>boredom</i> (and again, I agree), but that is much more easily fixed by looking for teachers or special programs that can cater to the child&#x27;s needs, maybe skipping grades... or, if that fails, continuing to enrich your child&#x27;s education yourself.
