TJ there is one point worth mentioning and this may explain the perception about Jewish kids

Most observant and/or Hassidic children start to learn the Hebrew Bible early, when I was a substituting teacher in second grade class of observant Jewish kids, they needed to have a morning prayer and later to explain several paragraphs in one of the books within the Bible.

Not sure if you ever read parts of it but the Hebrew Bible, the Talmud and Gmara are all very philosophical writings and explanation of laws.

The Talmud and Gmara are a collection of books that try to interpret what is written in the Bible and how to apply the writings to the day to day life (not modern life of today - GOD forbid).

Therefore, if at an early age you are presented with such complex questions then obviously your mind and analytical thinking are far more developed that the other children which are not exposed to the above.

However, with time to adulthood it dissipates and teenager are not above average as many cannot comprehend the deep philosophical explanations anyway and most teachers are quite average and I am not sure they understand what they teach.

The net result in my case was that I disliked the Hebrew Bible because my teacher who was not smart enough. I rediscovered the deep philosophical meanings in adulthood when in NYC as many attorney's I dealt with, had the Talmud open in their office and I started reading and understanding the meaning.

This in my opinion makes the difference and therefore I suggested to you that Jack should stop engaging in stupid video games that may be develop agility to respond to visual events but not thinking or evaluating situations.
