Gifted kids

There are good tools online for education of gifted kids.

This is like for many of us "Aš noriu būti verslininkas be pradinio kapitalo" thing.  This is just wishful thinking. This is a hope that hundreds of thousands of dollars will show up for us out of thin air. 

These gifted kids' parents have time and money for home schooling. They have money for high level preparatory private schools. They have money for excellent tutors. Most of them have money for this Internet schooling adventure. I have no proof, but most likely, these kids have whole teams (including their dedicated parents with a lot of their own education and free time on their hands). These teams help the kids to make sense of it all, and to move along with an astonishing pace.

No wonder. The position of these kids in society, even very survival of these kids depend on their education. These investments into education will come back in ten thousand fold sums.

Is it realistic for us? No. Wishful thinking is a dangerous distraction from real world.
