Have you read my excellent theories on why females do badly by comparison with males in some intellectual areas?

No, I am sure they are interesting though.

Incidentally, my eldest daughter kept telling me she could not do maths up till about age 13. She was hopeless at it. My mother also told me she could never do maths. However, unlike a lot of maths teachers, I feel I can teach maths.

Four years later my eldest daughter got the second highest mark for mathematics in Scotland at advanced (high school)grade. She could have gone much further if she felt inclined. She finds her maths helpful in biology where such a subject still causes fright amongst biology students. Differential equations just yet another blast.

Especially if we believe your theory that all children are the same and just need the right education.

The important point (very important point in your case) is neither you or I have a clue about which child will end up bright and which one won't. Neither you or I are god. It is important to encourage all of them to achieve thier best standard, and let god sort out the rest.
