One day, fellah, you might, through some mismanagement of our pedagogical resources, find yourself in the position that you described earlier, "helping" gifted kiddies. And your dullness and lack of understanding is going to be noticed straight off by one of the kids in your class. Because whenever you fail to understand, you don't assume that somebody is saying something that you might actually have to think about - you conclude straight off that what they're saying is drivel. I called that, in an earlier posting, "resentment". Face up, pal, you're not "interested" in helping gifted kids. You feel threatened by people of any age with better brains than yours. You just want to kill the feeling in yourself that that are a whole lot of people out there who are intrinsically more gifted than you are. Tata, sci.psychology. I've got better things to do than have discussions at this level.
