Salman Kahn of Kahn Academy
Just about a month ago, I found an article written by Salman Kahn (Sal) of Kahn Academy, with the subtitle "Why I would Never Tell My Son He's Smart." The subtitle intrigued me. I have four girls, all smart, in my humble opion, and I have always told them this. One graduated from high school at 16 and she is now enrolled in a doctoral course at Brown University, not having to complete her Masters in order to attain that feat. My other girls are still in school at various stages and they have always been in gifted programs etc. Have I made a mistake by telling them they are smart?
